A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, tapered strokes and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with a subtly flared feel at stroke endings, giving terminals a carved, calligraphic snap. The forms lean with a consistent forward slant and show lively modulation through curves, especially in round letters and diagonals. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in rhythm, with sturdy capitals and compact lowercase shapes that maintain clear counters despite the strong contrast.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where contrast and italic motion can carry the layout. It works well for magazine features, cultural or fashion branding, book covers, and poster titling where a classic-but-dramatic serif voice is desired. For long passages, it will be most comfortable at larger text sizes and with generous spacing to accommodate the sharp details and contrast.
The tone is refined and assertive, combining classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, display-forward energy. Its sharp serifs and brisk italic movement evoke sophistication and momentum, making it feel both elegant and attention-getting. Overall it reads as premium and editorial, with a distinctly stylized presence rather than a purely utilitarian text voice.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif foundation infused with italic dynamism and flared, tapered finishing strokes. The intent appears to be a display-capable italic that feels luxurious and authoritative while remaining structured enough for editorial settings.
The sample text shows strong word-shape rhythm driven by the italic slant and contrast, with crisp joins and pointed details that become more prominent at larger sizes. Numerals match the same formal language, with curving strokes and decisive terminals that keep the set cohesive.
