A high‑contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady rightward slant. Serifs are bracketed yet crisp, with sharp, tapered terminals that often finish in wedge-like points. Curves show a calligraphic, angled stress, and many joins form teardrop-like shapes, giving the strokes a lively, written rhythm. Proportions feel fairly traditional with moderate x-height and slightly compact counters, while capitals are stately and strongly modeled for headline presence.
This design suits editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, book titling, and pull quotes where expressive italics and strong contrast are assets. It can also work for refined branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice, and for emphasis within longer-form typography when used with careful spacing and size.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, formal feel that reads as editorial and slightly dramatic. Its energetic italic movement suggests sophistication and tradition rather than casual friendliness, lending emphasis and elegance to text.
The font appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened italic expressiveness—combining classical proportions with sharper terminals and strong modulation to create emphasis, elegance, and a distinctly editorial texture.
Numbers follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with distinctive curvature and strong weight concentration on the main strokes. The lowercase shows notable individuality in letters like a, g, and y, reinforcing a calligraphic texture and a pronounced typographic color when set in paragraphs.
