A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with subtly sheared entry and exit strokes that reinforce the forward motion. Curves are compact and smoothly modeled, while verticals and diagonals carry strong contrast that gives the letterforms a sculpted, inked quality. Counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with slightly angular joins and a lively baseline presence in the lowercase.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice needs to carry authority—magazine features, pull quotes, book and journal covers, and expressive headings. It can also work for short paragraphs when a more formal, classic texture is desired, especially in print-oriented layouts where its contrast and detailing can remain clear.
The face reads as traditional and cultivated, with a confident, editorial tone. Its calligraphic bite and strong contrast add drama and elegance, making it feel at home in literary and heritage contexts rather than utilitarian UI settings.
Likely designed to provide an expressive, high-contrast italic companion that feels rooted in classic serif tradition while delivering strong emphasis and personality. The goal appears to be a refined, attention-getting text and display tool with a distinctly calligraphic cadence.
Figures are robust and old-style in feel, with curved forms that echo the italic rhythm and a clear, emphatic presence at display sizes. Uppercase shapes remain stately but inherit the same forward-leaning, sharp-terminal character, keeping headings cohesive with the lowercase.
