A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines, weighty main strokes, and sharply bracketed serifs that often end in beak-like points. The design leans on calligraphic construction: strokes flare into terminals, joins are lively, and counters are sculpted rather than purely geometric. Proportions are slightly expansive with a confident rightward slant, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the lowercase) show taut tension and clean, controlled overshoots. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with a more traditional, text-oriented feel than a rigid tabular one.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, book jackets, and other editorial typography where high contrast and italic energy can carry the page. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and event materials that want a traditional serif voice with heightened drama and motion.
The tone is polished and emphatic—classic in structure but theatrical in execution. It reads as refined and upscale, with enough stroke drama and terminal flair to feel editorial and expressive rather than purely bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive italic accent—prioritizing contrast, elegance, and calligraphic flair for attention-grabbing text rather than purely utilitarian body copy.
Distinctive swash-like details appear in several glyphs (notably the lowercase j, y, and some entry/exit terminals), which adds motion and personality at display sizes. In dense settings, the thin hairlines and tight inner spaces suggest it will benefit from generous size, leading, or tracking to keep the contrast and detailing from closing up.
