This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic, flared stroke logic. Stems and joins swell and taper, creating lively modulation and sharp, clean terminals rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are narrow and often wedge-like, with bracketing that helps connect thick stems to thin hairlines smoothly. Counters are relatively open for an italic, while curves show crisp transitions and pointed apexes, giving the letterforms a sculpted, energetic rhythm across words.
It performs best in display settings where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography. It can also suit premium branding or formal materials such as invitations and programs, especially when set with generous spacing and strong typographic hierarchy.
The overall tone reads polished and expressive, pairing classic bookish sophistication with a bit of theatrical flair. Its slanted, high-contrast movement and sharp details feel ceremonial and upscale, suggesting tradition and confidence rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, calligraphic endings—optimized for expressive reading textures and refined display impact rather than plain, utilitarian neutrality.
The italics are strongly built: many letters show pronounced entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that enhance flow in continuous text. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic rhythm, with elegant curves and sharp finishing details that match the capitals and lowercase.
