A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, calligraphic strokes and bracketed serifs that flare into sharp terminals. The forms lean with a steady angle and show a lively, handwritten rhythm: bowls and curves are full, joins are crisp, and counters stay open despite the dark overall color. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase has a flowing, slightly oldstyle texture with noticeable stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with round figures and angled entry/exit strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book titling where a refined italic voice is desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes and emphasis within longer typography, especially at display and subhead sizes where its contrast and stroke detail remain clear.
The font reads as polished and literary, with an editorial seriousness and a touch of classical romance typical of traditional italic book faces. Its lively modulation adds energy without becoming ornamental, conveying confidence and formality suited to curated, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, authoritative italic with strong contrast and a traditional serif vocabulary, optimized for elegant emphasis and prominent text rather than purely utilitarian body copy.
The overall spacing and rhythm produce a strong, continuous text color, especially in bold italic settings, making it better suited to larger sizes where the fine hairlines and tight curvature can breathe. Distinctive italic features—angled stress, sweeping entry strokes, and pronounced serif shaping—reinforce the text’s forward motion.
