An italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress and crisp thick–thin modulation. Stems and strokes taper into flared, wedge-like endings rather than blunt serifs, giving letters a cut-with-a-pen feel. Counters are moderately open and round, while joins and curves stay smooth and slightly condensed by the slant. The rhythm is lively, with subtly varied character widths and pointed terminals that add sparkle in larger sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, and other display applications where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations, certificates, and premium packaging where a traditional, high-contrast serif look adds sophistication.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, pairing refinement with a touch of drama. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant suggest a traditional, editorial voice—confident, cultured, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional calligraphic italic translated into a crisp, high-contrast serif, emphasizing graceful motion and flared stroke endings for a refined, classical presence in display typography.
Uppercase forms read formal and poised, with strong diagonals (notably in V, W, X, Y) and a distinctive Q tail. Lowercase shows an oldstyle flavor with a single-storey a and g, and a flowing italic construction throughout. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with strong contrast and tapered finishing strokes.
