A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered curves and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and joins often swell and then narrow into pointed, flared stroke endings, giving the letters a sculpted, blade-like finish rather than blunt terminals. Serifs appear finely bracketed and directional, with a consistent rightward slant and lively, calligraphic entry/exit strokes. Proportions feel moderately open with generous counters, while the overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in the way strokes widen and taper across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display roles where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and film titling, and elegant branding. It can also work for short to medium passages when ample size and leading are available, especially in refined print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The tone is polished and literary, with a confident, old-world elegance that reads as editorial and formal. Its crisp contrast and sweeping italic motion add drama and sophistication, suggesting cultured, headline-forward typography rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with flared, tapered finishing strokes that add sharpness and personality. It balances traditional serif structure with a more calligraphic, expressive terminal treatment for impactful, upscale typography.
Capitals show strong diagonal stress and sharp apexes, and the lowercase maintains a fluid italic flow with distinctive tapered terminals on letters like a, f, r, and y. Numerals share the same contrast and calligraphic shaping, helping mixed content feel cohesive and expressive.
