A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs that sharpen into fine points. The strokes show pronounced modulation, with hairline joins and robust verticals, and a consistent rightward slant that gives the forms a forward, energetic rhythm. Capitals are tall and stately with crisp, flared finishing strokes, while the lowercase leans more calligraphic, using teardrop-like entry/exit strokes and compact counters that keep color dense in text. Figures follow the same italic, engraved feel, with smooth curves and pointed terminals that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve refined packaging or invitation work, and as an accent italic in brand systems that want a classic, high-contrast serif character.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, evoking editorial polish and traditional book typography with a more theatrical, display-leaning flourish. It reads as confident and formal, suited to elevated messaging where a sense of heritage and craft is desirable.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with an engraved, calligraphic flavor—balancing traditional proportions with sharper terminals and pronounced contrast to create a more expressive voice than a purely text-optimized italic.
Spacing appears relatively generous for an italic of this contrast, helping maintain clarity in setting despite the sharp terminals and thin hairlines. The design’s pronounced stroke modulation and pointed finishes make it most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes, where the delicate details can remain visible.
