A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and a lively, calligraphic stroke model. Thick main stems pair with fine hairlines and tapered joins, while bracketed, wedge-like serifs and occasional ball terminals add softness to the otherwise assertive weight. Proportions feel slightly condensed with narrow internal counters and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture; curves and diagonals are crisp, and many letters show subtle entry/exit flicks that read as gently swashed rather than rigidly constructed.
This style fits best in headlines and short text where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated—magazine features, book covers, pull quotes, and upscale branding. It can also work for emphasis within longer compositions (such as section openers or subheads) where a confident, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary with an energetic, dramatic tilt. It feels authoritative and polished, evoking bookish editorial typography while still carrying a touch of flourish suitable for expressive display moments.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation infused with calligraphic motion and strong contrast, providing a refined, editorial look that stands out in display settings while retaining familiar, readable letterforms.
Uppercase forms present strong vertical emphasis and compact spacing, creating a dense, headline-ready color. Numerals share the same italic energy and contrast, with curving shapes and tapered terminals that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
