A high-contrast serif italic with tapered, flared terminals that widen into softly bracketed endings rather than abrupt slabby cuts. The strokes show a clear calligraphic logic: thin hairlines, fuller main strokes, and pointed entry/exit flicks that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Counters are relatively open and the proportions feel traditional, with a moderate x-height and long, shaping ascenders/descenders that help the italic flow. Numerals follow the same sharp, angled stress and sweeping curves, giving the set a cohesive, text-forward color.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, leads, and refined headlines. It can also support literary branding, cultural posters, and formal invitations, especially where a classical, high-contrast italic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is refined and expressive, combining old-style bookish tradition with a more theatrical italic energy. It reads as cultured and authoritative, with enough flourish to feel distinctive without tipping into novelty.
Likely designed to provide an expressive, traditional italic with a calligraphic backbone and flared serif finishing, delivering a distinctly elegant tone for text and display emphasis. The consistent high contrast and sweeping terminals suggest an emphasis on sophistication and dramatic typographic color in print-like settings.
Several letters show pronounced italic swashes and angled joins, producing a forward momentum that becomes more dramatic in larger sizes. The flared stroke endings and pointed terminals add crispness, while the dense contrast and curves give the face a premium, print-oriented character.
