A slanted serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a calligraphic, pen-driven rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with tapered joins and wedge-like serifs that widen smoothly out of the stems rather than ending in blunt slabs. Capitals are broad and stately with crisp, slightly pointed finishing strokes, while the lowercase is lively and slightly compact, keeping counters open and forms readable in continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic movement, with sturdy curves and sharp, angled terminals that keep the set cohesive.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine or book-cover typography where an elegant italic presence is desired. It can also work for short blocks of text in editorial settings, especially when the goal is to add emphasis and a classic, literary tone.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, blending a traditional bookish sensibility with a more energetic, expressive italic voice. It feels refined and confident, with a slightly dramatic edge that suits sophisticated, high-contrast layout work.
Likely designed to deliver a confident, traditional serif italic with pronounced flaring and calligraphic movement, providing expressive emphasis for editorial typography while maintaining clear, structured letterforms.
The design leans on strong diagonals and tapered entry/exit strokes, creating a forward momentum across words. The spacing in the sample suggests it’s intended to hold together well at display and subhead sizes, where the flared endings and sharp serifs remain distinct without looking brittle.
