A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stroke model. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin transitions, with thin hairlines and sturdy main stems that create a crisp, sculpted texture. Curves are lively and slightly tensioned, and many joins and terminals end in angled, blade-like cuts rather than soft teardrops, giving the forms a brisk, directional feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders/descenders and an upright, readable skeleton despite the strong slant.
This font is best used for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where contrast and slant can add emphasis without sacrificing clarity. It will also perform well on book covers, posters, and branded print materials that benefit from a classic-but-dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, mixing classical refinement with a dramatic, display-leaning energy. It feels suited to high-end, literary, or fashion-adjacent contexts where a sense of tradition and flair is desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an emphatic italic personality—combining traditional proportions with strong contrast and sharp, wedge-like finishing to create a distinctive editorial signature.
Uppercase forms read stately and compact with crisp wedges, while the lowercase introduces more movement through lively italics and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, sharing the same high-contrast modeling and angled detailing, which helps maintain consistency in mixed text.
