A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction: diagonals and curves taper into sharp, pointed terminals, and many joins and stems end in angled cuts rather than blunt finishes. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the caps with generous overshoots in round letters, while the lowercase has a fluid, forward-leaning rhythm and relatively compact bowls. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with pointed ends and distinctive curvature that keeps them visually active in text.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book and chapter titles, and prominent pull quotes where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve in formal branding or invitations when used at sizes large enough to showcase the tapered serifs and contrast clearly.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a sense of motion and emphasis that feels suited to expressive reading. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add drama and authority, giving it a slightly theatrical, old-world elegance rather than a quiet, utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to provide a classical italic serif voice with heightened contrast and sharp, calligraphic detailing, balancing conventional text-serifs structure with more expressive, display-leaning edge work.
Spacing appears moderately tight in display settings, and the strong slant plus tapered details create a vivid texture that can build density quickly in longer lines. The forms remain conventional enough for continuous reading, but the energetic terminals and contrast make it most striking where the typography is meant to be noticed.
