A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals, giving letters a chiseled, calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Uppercase forms are relatively compact and weighty with crisp serifs, while the lowercase features lively joins and distinctive entry/exit strokes that add motion across a line. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with bold curves and clear contrast that keeps them visually consistent with the text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a strong, elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve in branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium impression, and in book-cover titling where a dramatic, literary tone helps carry the message.
The overall tone reads traditional and upscale, with an energetic, slightly theatrical flourish. It evokes bookish refinement and old-world sophistication while still feeling assertive and attention-getting in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, traditional serif italic with pronounced contrast and ornamental stroke behavior, emphasizing expressive movement and refined sharpness for impactful reading and display.
The italic angle and strong contrast create a pronounced diagonal rhythm, especially in longer passages, where the texture becomes dark and flowing. Several lowercase shapes lean toward a cursive sensibility (notably the single-storey forms and the looped/tailed constructions), adding personality without departing from a conventional serif framework.
