A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes move from thin hairlines to weighty verticals with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals. Counters are relatively compact and the forms feel sculpted, with a slightly variable, hand-driven texture across letters. Numerals and caps share the same sharp contrast and angled energy, giving lines a dense, graphic presence.
Best suited for headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and editorial display where an italic voice is meant to carry the design. It can work for short-to-medium passages in print-oriented layouts, especially in classic publishing contexts, but will shine most when used for emphasis, titles, and prominent typographic moments.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly theatrical sophistication. It suggests tradition and authority while the energetic italic motion adds a sense of speed and flourish. Overall it reads as refined and literary rather than minimal or neutral.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, authoritative italic companion for conventional serif typography, offering classic proportions with heightened contrast and an expressive, calligraphy-informed slant for impactful setting.
At text sizes the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a dark, punchy color on the page. The italic construction is assertive, making it especially effective where emphasis and personality are desired rather than quiet, long-form neutrality.
