A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that give the strokes a crisp, engraved feel. The slant is pronounced and consistent, with narrow joins and strong thick–thin modulation that creates a rhythmic, directional texture in text. Counters are relatively open for the style, while curves and diagonals (notably in S, C, and the numerals) show a calligraphic sweep. The lowercase forms read compact and energetic, with a slightly narrow, vertical emphasis and clear differentiation between rounded and straight-sided shapes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where italic voice is central—magazine features, pull quotes, and display lines that need a refined, traditional tone. It also fits book-cover titling and other formal print applications, especially when set with generous spacing to let the high-contrast details breathe.
The overall tone is cultivated and expressive, evoking traditional book typography and refined print design. Its strong contrast and assertive italic movement add a sense of drama and ceremony, making it feel confident, literary, and slightly luxurious.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic, print-oriented flavor. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and elegant stroke finishing to provide a strong typographic voice for emphasis and display within conventional serif settings.
At larger sizes the sharp details and hairlines become a defining feature, while in dense settings the vivid contrast can create a sparkling texture. Numerals and capitals carry the same italic energy and sculpted modulation, supporting cohesive emphasis in mixed text.
