This typeface is a high‑contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic rhythm. Strokes move from hairline thins to strong verticals, with soft flaring and bracketed serif transitions that keep joins fluid rather than abrupt. The forms are slightly narrow and forward-leaning, with sharp, tapered terminals and gently swelling curves that give counters a lively, sculpted feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, pairing crisp hairlines with fuller downstrokes for a cohesive text-and-display texture.
It suits editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes—where an energetic italic can carry emphasis without losing sophistication. It also works well for branding and packaging that wants a classic, premium feel, especially in larger sizes where the contrast and sharp terminals read as intentional detail.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of tradition with a fashionable, editorial edge. Its lively italic motion and crisp finishing details feel elegant and expressive rather than neutral, lending a confident, cultivated voice to headlines and emphasized text.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic voice with clear calligraphic influence—pairing dramatic contrast and flared finishing with disciplined proportions for an elegant, publishable texture.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing strong diagonal flow in words and lines. Hairlines get very fine in places, creating sparkle and a pronounced light–dark pattern that becomes more dramatic as size increases.
