A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The serifs are small and crisp with noticeable bracketing, and many terminals end in pointed, slightly wedge-like finishes that reinforce the slanted, calligraphic construction. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and energetic diagonals; lowercase forms show lively entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like curls (notably in letters such as g, y, and z). Numerals match the same dramatic contrast and italic momentum, keeping a consistent color in display settings while remaining clearly differentiated.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a classic italic voice. It can work for short editorial text at comfortable sizes, but its strong contrast and spirited forms are most effective when given room to breathe.
The font conveys a refined, old-world elegance with a theatrical edge, blending literary sophistication with assertive emphasis. Its strong contrast and pronounced italic rhythm read as confident and expressive, evoking editorial authority and classic printed matter.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened italic expression, prioritizing elegance and emphasis for editorial and display use. The combination of crisp serifs, steep contrast, and lively lowercase detailing suggests an intent to feel traditional yet attention-grabbing.
In longer samples the dense stroke contrast and sharp joins create a dark, emphatic texture, especially at larger sizes where the tapered details and bracketing become prominent. The italic angle is assertive and consistent, giving lines a continuous forward sweep and a distinctly stylized word shape.
