A slanted, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a distinctly calligraphic construction that shows up in the angled stress of rounds and the lively entry/exit terminals. Proportions feel broad with generous counters and a steady, text-oriented x-height, while capitals read sturdy and statuesque. Overall rhythm is energetic and slightly swashy rather than rigid, giving the forms a dynamic forward motion.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine features, and book-cover typography where an elegant but forceful italic serif can carry the message. It can also work in branding or packaging that needs a classic, premium tone, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the contrast reads cleanly.
The tone is formal and assertive, with a traditional editorial flavor and a touch of theatricality from the strong contrast and italic drive. It feels confident and classic, suited to settings where a polished, elevated voice is desired.
The design appears intended as a traditional, high-contrast italic serif that combines editorial seriousness with expressive calligraphic motion. It aims to deliver strong emphasis and sophistication without leaving conventional serif territory.
In the text sample the heavy verticals and thin connecting strokes create a crisp shimmer at larger sizes, while the italic slant adds pace and emphasis. Numerals and capitals have a robust presence, making the face feel well-suited to display-led typography where contrast can be appreciated.
