A high-contrast italic serif with calligraphic construction and a pronounced rightward slant. Stems are sturdy while hairlines thin sharply, creating crisp transitions and a lively diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and often slightly flared, with wedge-like entry strokes and tapered terminals that emphasize motion. The forms are relatively wide with open counters, and the rhythm is energetic due to varied stroke modulation and subtly irregular curve tension across rounds and bowls.
This font performs best where an expressive italic voice is desired: editorial headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling. It can also suit formal materials like invitations and certificates, especially when a traditional serif tone with added movement is appropriate. The strong contrast and lively detail make it more compelling at medium to large sizes than in dense, small-body settings.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with an elegant, literary voice that reads as traditional but animated. Its strong slant and sharp contrast add a confident, slightly dramatic flavor suited to refined headlines and expressive typography. The texture suggests craft and heritage rather than a neutral, purely utilitarian text face.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive italic personality—combining classic proportions with pronounced contrast, tapered strokes, and decorative terminals to create a refined, attention-grabbing texture.
Uppercase shapes present clear, formal proportions with prominent italic swashes on diagonals and a distinctive, looping Q tail. Lowercase features a single-storey a and g with curled terminals, and a noticeable ball terminal on j, reinforcing the calligraphic character. Numerals show strong contrast and stylized curves, giving figures a display-leaning presence alongside text.
