A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pen-cut rhythm. Strokes transition from thick verticals to very thin hairlines, with tapered, flared terminals that sharpen into wedge-like points. Serifs are bracketed and energetic rather than rigid, and the overall texture alternates between strong dark stems and crisp, delicate joins. Letterforms show noticeable italic construction in the lowercase, with lively curves and angled stress that create a dynamic, slightly compressed flow across words.
Best suited for display sizes where the strong contrast and hairlines can be appreciated, such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and book-cover titling. It can also serve in premium branding and event materials where a classic, italic voice is desired.
The font projects a refined, editorial tone with a touch of drama. Its crisp hairlines and sharp terminals feel traditional and literary, while the assertive slant adds motion and emphasis suited to expressive typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice with clear calligraphic influence, combining traditional serif structure with sharpened, flared endings for heightened presence. The goal seems to be strong visual flavor and contrast-driven refinement for prominent text settings.
Capitals read as stately and sculpted, while the lowercase carries more fluidity and personality, giving mixed-case settings a lively cadence. Numerals appear sturdy and display-oriented, matching the strong contrast and pointed finishing strokes seen throughout the set.
