This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and a steady rightward slant. Strokes taper into sharp, crisp terminals, while bracketed serifs provide a traditional text-serif foundation. Proportions are relatively narrow with compact lowercase widths and long, lively extenders, creating a brisk horizontal rhythm. The italics show clear cursive influence—especially in the lowercase—with smooth entry strokes, angled stress, and elegantly modulated curves.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book and journal styling, and refined marketing materials where an italic voice is central. It can work effectively for headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and short passages that benefit from high-contrast elegance, and it also lends itself to premium branding and packaging accents.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, pairing classical sophistication with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its crisp contrast and energetic slant read as formal and cultivated, suited to contexts that benefit from a polished, expressive voice.
The design appears intended to provide a classical italic with strong calligraphic flavor—combining traditional serif cues with a sleek, high-contrast silhouette for expressive, upscale typography.
The uppercase retains a restrained, editorial presence while the lowercase carries most of the personality through tapered joins and curved terminals. Numerals match the italic logic, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp finishing strokes that keep the texture bright and articulate.
