This typeface is a sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs appear bracketed and pointed, with many strokes finishing in tapered, slightly hooked ends that give the outlines a calligraphic edge. Capitals are broad and assertive with strong diagonals and tight, sculpted joins, while the lowercase shows more movement, including looped descenders and occasional swash-like tails (notably in letters such as j, y, and z). Numerals follow the same energetic rhythm, with curving forms and distinctive entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively in display sizes.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It also fits book and chapter titles, cultural programming, and formal invitations where a traditional serif tone benefits from added energy and flourish.
The overall tone feels formal and literary, combining a classic editorial sensibility with a dramatic, slightly theatrical flair. Its slant and high stroke contrast convey elegance and motion, while the sharp terminals add a crisp, authoritative finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif italic with heightened contrast and expressive terminals, offering a sophisticated emphasis style that remains readable while feeling distinctly crafted and decorative.
In text, the strong contrast and angled stress create a dynamic rhythm with noticeable sparkle, especially around curved letters and junctions. The design’s tapered terminals and lively descenders add personality that reads as more expressive than a purely utilitarian book italic, making it most convincing when it has room to breathe.
