A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and crisp bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant and a calligraphic stress, with thick stems and hairline joins that create a lively, shimmering texture. Curves are smooth and slightly tense, and many characters finish in tapered, flicked terminals (notably in lowercase). Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate ascenders/descenders and compact, well-shaped counters that keep the texture cohesive at text sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without switching to a script. It can also support elegant cover typography and editorial layouts, especially when paired with a calmer roman or low-contrast companion for body text.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its pronounced contrast and italic energy suggest sophistication and drama, evoking classic publishing and fashion contexts while remaining controlled rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic with strong contrast and a polished, contemporary finish—an emphasis style that feels at home in editorial typography while maintaining traditional serif credibility.
In the sample text, the font builds a strong diagonal rhythm and prominent word shapes, making it especially effective for emphasis. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, reading as refined and display-leaning rather than utilitarian.
