This is a high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and sharp triangular terminals. Strokes show a pronounced broad-nib rhythm: thick verticals and diagonals paired with hairline joins, producing a crisp, engraved look. Proportions are moderately condensed with tall capitals and a slightly varied letterfit that creates a lively, uneven rhythm in words. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a curved descender on y, and narrow, tapered forms that emphasize forward motion; numerals are similarly slanted and sharply finished.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium settings where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated—headlines, book or article titles, pull quotes, and refined branding. It can also work for formal stationery or event materials when set with generous size and spacing to protect the fine strokes.
The overall tone is formal and expressive, combining editorial polish with a distinctly calligraphic, old-style sophistication. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast feel poised and slightly theatrical, lending text a premium, boutique character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented italic voice with strong calligraphic influence and a premium, high-contrast presence. Its flared endings and crisp terminals suggest an emphasis on elegance and motion rather than quiet, utilitarian text neutrality.
At larger sizes the hairlines and interior joins read very delicately, while the flared finishing and strong diagonals keep the texture animated. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample create a fast, energetic line flow.
