A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation that suggests a calligraphic pen. The letterforms lean steadily with lively, slightly springy curves and tapered joins; terminals often finish in teardrop or ball-like shapes. Proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height, compact counters, and a subtly irregular rhythm that gives the texture a human, oldstyle flavor rather than a rigid, geometric one. Numerals and capitals share the same confident contrast and rounded shaping, staying sturdy and readable despite the slant.
It performs best where a strong, elegant italic voice is desirable: headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine display, and brand marks that want traditional refinement. It can also suit invitations or formal announcements, where its high contrast and calligraphic detailing add ceremony and emphasis.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a touch of theatrical flair. Its bold presence and expressive italic movement feel cultured and literary, suitable for language meant to sound established, crafted, and a bit dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation infused with expressive italic calligraphy—balancing tradition with display-oriented charm. It aims to provide a confident, classic typographic voice that stands out through contrast, curved motion, and decorative terminals.
The italic construction is prominent across both cases, with single-storey forms in the lowercase and generous, curving entries and exits that create a flowing line. Serifs are not blunt; they transition smoothly into stems, and the overall color on the page is rich and dark, especially in larger sizes.
