A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic influence: diagonals feel energetic, terminals often taper, and several lowercase letters feature gently swashed forms (notably in the descenders and entry strokes). The uppercase is sturdy and sculpted with slightly condensed proportions, while the lowercase is more flowing and varied in rhythm, with teardrop-like counters and expressive curves. Numerals are similarly high-contrast, with curled terminals and a traditional, text-facing silhouette.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes where its high contrast and energetic italic stance can shine. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, premium serif impression with added motion and flourish.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, formal voice and a hint of theatrical flourish. It reads as authoritative and literary, suited to situations where a traditional serif feel is desired but with more movement and personality than a purely restrained book face.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a distinctly italic, calligraphy-led character—combining formal proportions with expressive terminals to create emphasis and elegance in display and editorial contexts.
Curved letters (a, g, e, s) show strong modulation and lively terminals, giving text a dynamic texture at larger sizes. The italics’ steep angle and pronounced contrast create a bold typographic color that can become visually emphatic in paragraphs, especially in all-caps or dense settings.
