This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes transition quickly from thick to thin, with hairline joins and tapered terminals; many endings flare into wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically bracketed. The italic slant is steady and moderately steep, and the outlines show a lively rhythm with subtle stroke swelling. Uppercase forms are broad and stately, while lowercase letters lean more dynamically with compact counters and crisp entry/exit strokes; numerals follow the same contrasty, tapered logic for a cohesive text color.
It performs best in display to large-text settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and refined branding. The strong contrast and delicate hairlines reward high-quality output and ample size, where the tapered terminals and italic rhythm can read clearly and add sophistication.
The tone is elegant and editorial, combining classical bookish authority with a touch of drama from the sharp hairlines and energetic italic movement. It reads as polished and premium, suited to contexts where tradition and refinement are part of the message.
The design appears intended as a refined italic for expressive typography—capturing a classical serif voice while emphasizing calligraphic motion, sharp contrast, and flared, wedge-like finishing strokes for a distinctive, upscale presence.
The letterforms display pronounced thick–thin modulation and pointed internal joins that create sparkle in larger sizes. Curves and bowls are smooth but intentionally sculpted, and the overall spacing produces a dark, confident texture in paragraphs without feeling heavy.
