A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, tapered serifs. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to firm verticals, with many joins and stroke endings widening into wedge-like flares that keep the texture lively. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows energetic movement through slanted stems, compact bowls, and sharply cut entry/exit strokes. Overall spacing reads even, with a dark, refined color and clear modulation that holds up in longer lines.
Well suited to editorial settings—books, magazines, and long-form reading—where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis or for setting whole passages with a sophisticated tone. It also works effectively for luxury-oriented branding, headlines, and formal stationery where sharp contrast and refined detailing can be showcased at larger sizes.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a more theatrical, high-contrast sparkle. It feels formal and polished, with an italic voice that suggests emphasis, elegance, and a touch of drama rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic serif with heightened contrast and carefully shaped flared terminals, combining classic readability with a more stylish, attention-grabbing rhythm. It aims to feel authoritative and refined while retaining enough movement to function as a distinctive display italic when scaled up.
Counters are relatively open for an italic of this contrast, helping the face avoid clogging in text. Several glyphs feature distinctive, flared stroke endings and crisp terminals that add a slightly engraved, editorial character, especially noticeable in the numerals and rounded forms.
