A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. The design features bracketed, wedge-like serifs and energetic, tapered terminals that create a lively forward slant. Curves are full and slightly bulbous in places, with smooth joins and a flowing, pen-driven feel; counters stay open enough for display and short text. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in stance, while lowercase forms show more personality through curved entry/exit strokes and occasional swashy shaping.
Best suited for headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where a bold italic voice is desired. It can also work for book covers, cultural posters, invitations, and premium packaging, especially when used at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and bracketed serifs remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a dramatic, old-world elegance that reads as formal yet expressive. Its motion and contrast give it a sense of luxury and tradition, suggesting literature, heritage branding, and polished print styling rather than utilitarian UI.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive italic presence—combining traditional proportions with calligraphic energy for impactful, refined typography.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic and look well-suited to headline use. The slant is consistent across cases, and the texture in paragraph setting appears dark and assertive, with strong vertical stress and crisp hairlines that benefit from adequate size and spacing.
