A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The forms lean assertively with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that often finish in subtle curls or ball-like ends. Uppercase letters show classical proportions with sharp apexes and confident horizontals, while the lowercase has fluid joins, open counters, and gently swelling curves that emphasize the diagonal stress. Numerals read as oldstyle-style figures with varying heights and extenders, contributing to an organic, text-forward texture.
Well suited to editorial typography where a confident italic voice is desired—magazine features, pull quotes, and section openers. Its high contrast and animated terminals also make it effective for book covers, posters, and formal invitations, especially when set at display sizes where the detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, combining traditional book-seriffed elegance with an expressive, slightly theatrical italic energy. It suggests literary refinement and a premium editorial voice rather than a neutral, utilitarian texture.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading foundation infused with expressive italic calligraphy, providing a refined yet attention-grabbing option for emphasis and display. It prioritizes elegance and character through contrast, lively terminals, and a classic serif framework.
Stroke endings frequently flare or hook, giving the type a distinctive sparkle in headlines. The italic construction feels integral (not merely slanted), with consistent stress and carefully shaped curves that keep wordforms cohesive even at larger sizes.
