A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and pointed, with many terminals ending in wedge-like, calligraphic cuts. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in a humanist way, with lively entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like extensions, especially in capitals. Numerals are similarly slanted and sculpted, mixing strong stems with fine hairlines for a crisp, elegant texture.
Best suited to display typography such as book covers, chapter openers, magazine features, and pull quotes where the high contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for formal invitations or identity applications that want a traditional, engraved-leaning elegance, provided sizes and line spacing allow the hairlines to stay clear.
The face reads as classic and cultivated, with an editorial formality that feels at home in literary or historical contexts. Its steep italic angle and cutting terminals add a sense of speed and drama, giving headlines a rhetorical, expressive tone without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic serif voice with heightened contrast and calligraphic sharpness, prioritizing expressive word shapes and elegant sparkle. It aims to feel established and literary while still offering enough angular energy to stand out in headlines and titling.
Capitals show generous curvature and strong diagonal stress, producing a distinctive, animated silhouette in words. The lowercase appears relatively compact and tightly drawn, making spacing and stroke contrast central to its visual character in text and display settings.
