A vigorous italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a forward-leaning, calligraphic construction. The serifs are bracketed and tapered, with a mix of sharp terminals and rounded, ball-like endings that add sparkle at joins and stroke tips. Curves are full and slightly asymmetrical, giving letters a lively rhythm, while counters stay open enough to keep text shapes clear. Numerals read as oldstyle forms with descending figures and strong diagonal stress, matching the italic flow of the letters.
Best suited for editorial typography where an assertive italic is needed—magazine headlines and decks, book or chapter titles, and prominent pull quotes. It can also work well for refined branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, expressive serif voice, especially at medium to large sizes where its contrast and detailing are most legible.
The overall tone is traditional and expressive—confident, polished, and slightly theatrical. Its energetic slant and high-contrast modeling suggest a literary, editorial voice that feels established rather than experimental.
Designed to deliver a traditional text-serif impression with an emphasized italic personality, combining classical proportions with lively terminals and strong contrast for impact in display and editorial contexts.
The glyphs show noticeable variation in widths and a dynamic baseline presence, with swashy entry/exit strokes on several lowercase forms. In the text sample, the contrast creates a crisp texture and strong word shapes, especially in caps and cap-lowercase combinations.
