A high-contrast italic serif with sharply modulated strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with entry and exit strokes that feel calligraphic rather than mechanical. The italic construction shows a steady forward slant, with rounded forms staying open and clear while terminals often finish in pointed or subtly flared shapes. Proportions lean generously wide in capitals and many lowercase forms, giving the face a spacious rhythm even at heavier stroke weights.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book and essay titling, and prominent pull quotes where contrast and italic energy can be showcased. It can also serve in refined branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with a more expressive, slanted stance.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and polish. Its dramatic contrast and energetic italic movement add a sense of sophistication and urgency, making text feel intentional and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif interpreted through a bold, high-contrast italic lens—aiming for a polished, literary impression with strong typographic color and clear hierarchy in display-driven compositions.
Capitals read stately and stable, with a noticeable interplay between thick verticals and hairline horizontals/diagonals. The lowercase shows traditional italic cues such as a single-storey “a” and lively curved joins, while numerals share the same contrast and angled stress, supporting consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
