A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic backbone and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into sharp, wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals, creating crisp joins and a lively, angled rhythm. The italic angle is assertive, with flowing entry/exit strokes on many lowercase forms and compact counters that keep the texture dense at display sizes. Uppercase letters show strong diagonal stress and sculpted curves, while figures follow the same italic, tapered construction for a cohesive page color.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other display applications where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can add a classic, upscale flavor to editorial layouts, book or magazine covers, and branding that needs a formal, expressive serif voice.
The overall tone is dramatic and literary, with an editorial polish that feels traditional yet energetic. Its sharp tapering and sweeping italics suggest sophistication and movement, lending a sense of ceremony and emphasis. The voice reads as confident and cultivated rather than casual.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional serif framework with heightened contrast and an italic, calligraphy-influenced energy for emphatic, high-impact typography. Its shaping prioritizes elegance and visual drama over plain neutrality, aiming to stand out in prominent text settings.
The design favors pointed terminals and tight internal shapes, which increases sparkle and contrast in headlines but can appear intense in long passages at smaller sizes. Curves and diagonals carry much of the personality, giving words a forward-driving cadence and a slightly swashy finish in places.
