A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes that create a crisp, sculpted texture. Serifs are finely bracketed and often pointed, with several letters showing ball terminals and teardrop-like endings that emphasize a calligraphic construction. The forms are moderately narrow with a forward slant, tight internal apertures in places, and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm typical of display-oriented italics. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and include pronounced curves and terminals that echo the letterforms.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and other prominent settings where the high-contrast italic character can be appreciated. It can work well for short passages such as pull quotes or front-matter, but the intense contrast and animated terminals are most comfortable at display sizes.
The overall tone is formal and classic, with a distinctly dramatic, editorial flavor. Its steep contrast and energetic italic movement convey sophistication and urgency, making text feel emphatic and stylish rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and an expressive italic cadence, prioritizing elegance and impact for attention-catching typography.
Stroke joins and curves tend to resolve into pointed spurs and small flicks, which increases sparkle at larger sizes. The design reads as confident and assertive, with noticeable personality in terminals and entry/exit strokes.
