A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs read as bracketed and often wedge-like, with pointed beaks and ink-trap-like notches that sharpen joins and corners. The stroke modulation is strong, producing a dark, assertive texture in text, while the internal counters stay open enough for clarity. Proportions feel moderately narrow with slightly uneven, energetic widths across letters, reinforcing a lively rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical cadence.
Best suited for editorial settings where a strong italic voice is desirable—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book titles, and sophisticated branding. It can also work for short-to-medium text sizes when a dark, energetic texture is acceptable, but its high contrast and sharp detailing will read most confidently with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is classic and formal, but with an expressive, calligraphic edge. It suggests traditional book typography and old-style elegance, yet the sharp terminals and punchy contrast add drama suited to display-led editorial work.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading DNA with a distinctly emphatic italic personality. It prioritizes contrast, sharp terminals, and animated rhythm to create a confident, attention-holding voice for titles and featured text.
Uppercase forms have a dignified, slightly compressed presence, and the italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same sharp, angled logic, with strong diagonal stress and compact, sturdy silhouettes that match the font’s dark color.
