A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, bracketed wedge-like serifs, and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms show calligraphic modulation with thick verticals and hairline joins, plus soft, rounded transitions that keep the bold weight from feeling rigid. The rhythm is lively and slightly condensed in places, with compact counters and energetic entry/exit strokes; terminals often finish in teardrop or ball-like forms, especially in the lowercase. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curving diagonals and varied stroke endings that match the italic texture.
Well-suited to editorial display, book and magazine titling, and pull quotes where an assertive italic voice is needed. It also fits formal materials such as invitations and certificates, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif impression.
The overall tone is traditional and expressive, evoking bookish refinement and old-world formality. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic motion give it a confident, theatrical presence that reads as editorial and ceremonial rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic, energetic cadence—optimized for expressive reading and prominent typographic moments rather than utilitarian text neutrality.
At larger sizes the crisp hairlines and sculpted serifs become a defining texture, while in dense settings the tight counters and heavy main strokes create a dark, emphatic color. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive, continuous slanted flow.
