A high-contrast serif italic with a calligraphic, right-leaning construction and lively stroke modulation. Stems and diagonals taper and flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals, with bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. The curves are crisp and tense, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm alternates between thin hairlines and fuller stressed strokes for a distinctly sculpted texture. Proportions vary across letters, giving a slightly variable, display-oriented cadence while maintaining consistent italic logic throughout capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial text where its contrast and italic flow can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, cultural programming, luxury or boutique branding, and identity systems that need a classical, crafted voice. For small sizes or dense UI text, the thin hairlines and sharp detailing are more likely to demand careful size and spacing choices.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone with a hint of drama—polished enough for premium branding, but animated and expressive in motion. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast evoke tradition and craft, suggesting sophistication and formality without feeling stiff.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with pronounced contrast and flared finishing, combining traditional calligraphic cues with a crisp, modern sharpness. Its construction prioritizes expressive rhythm and elegant presence, making it ideal for display-driven typography.
Capitals read as stately and slightly narrow in gesture, while the lowercase shows more movement, with energetic entry/exit strokes and pronounced tapering on bowls and joins. Numerals share the same contrast and wedge-like finishing, helping them sit comfortably in headline settings. In longer samples, the texture is bold and decorative, favoring impactful typography over quiet, utilitarian reading.
