A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stroke rhythm. Letterforms lean consistently with tapered terminals and pointed joins, producing lively diagonals and sharp entry/exit strokes. Proportions feel traditional with moderate extenders; capitals are stately and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase shows a fluid, pen-like modulation and compact counters that keep the texture tight and continuous in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and literary branding where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can carry emphasis in pull quotes, subheads, and headlines, and works best at sizes where its fine hairlines and sharp details remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial sophistication that reads as established and formal. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing add a sense of motion and drama, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic flavor, aiming to deliver an authoritative yet lively reading texture. Its sharp serifs and energetic stroke modulation suggest a focus on elegance and emphasis for editorial settings.
In running text the face forms a dark, elegant color driven by strong thick–thin transitions and emphatic triangular serifs. The numerals match the italic energy and contrast, appearing crisp and display-ready rather than utilitarian.
