A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are crisp and often wedge-like with subtle bracketing, while many joins and curves show angled stress that gives the face a lively, sculpted look. Proportions feel classical with moderate caps and a relatively compact lowercase, and several letters feature tapered entry/exit strokes that read like restrained swash gestures. Numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast, chiseled structure, producing an energetic, editorial texture in text.
This font is well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where a refined but expressive italic voice is desirable. It can also work for book covers, cultural branding, and premium packaging where sharp contrast and classic serif cues signal sophistication. For best results, use it at medium to large sizes where the thin strokes and crisp terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical: traditional at its core, but with enough flair in the italic movement and sharp finishing strokes to feel expressive and attention-grabbing. It suggests a confident, literary sensibility—polished, slightly dramatic, and suited to sophisticated messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an assertive italic character—combining classical proportions with heightened contrast and calligraphic finishing strokes for a distinctive, high-end editorial presence.
In the sample text the strong diagonal motion and bright counters create a lively grayscale, while the sharp terminals and narrow hairlines add sparkle at display sizes. The face favors personality over neutrality, with noticeable gesture in letters like a, f, g, y, and z that can become a defining voice in a layout.
