This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition from hairline-thin to weighty verticals with crisp, tapered terminals; many strokes finish in small wedge-like serifs that feel flared rather than purely bracketed. Capitals are narrow and energetic with sharp apexes and curved entries, while lowercase forms keep a compact, readable x-height and show lively, angled joins. The overall rhythm is slightly irregular in a controlled way, giving the line a handwritten sheen while retaining typographic discipline.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazine features, pull quotes, and headings, as well as book jackets and cultural posters where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines and crisp terminals.
The tone is refined and literary, with a dramatic, old-world elegance suited to expressive typography. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic motion suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony, while the flared endings add warmth and a crafted, engraved feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic serif with calligraphic energy—combining classical proportions with flared, tapered endings to produce a lively, high-contrast texture for expressive display typography.
The numerals and punctuation adopt the same steep italic posture and strong contrast, with several figures showing pronounced curves and tapered entry/exit strokes. In text, the letterforms create a clear diagonal flow and a bright texture, but the delicate hairlines and tight counters imply best performance at display and larger text sizes where the detailing can be appreciated.
