A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms lean with a steady rightward slant and show calligraphic energy, especially in the curved joins and tapered terminals. Capitals feel sturdy and sculpted, while the lowercase introduces more movement through flowing arches, angled entry strokes, and occasional swash-like tails (notably in letters such as j and y). Counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm is elegant but assertive, with clear stroke endings and a polished, print-oriented texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where an emphatic italic voice is needed. It also fits book covers, cultural branding, and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, particularly at medium to large sizes where the contrast and detailing remain clear.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone with a sense of ceremony and refinement. Its sharp contrast and energetic italics read as confident and slightly dramatic, evoking book typography, formal announcements, and classic publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a classic text-serif italic with elevated contrast and a crafted, calligraphic finish, offering a refined accent style for emphasis and display while maintaining conventional serif structure.
Numerals follow the same italic logic and contrast, with distinctive curves and tapered joins that keep them visually consistent with the letters. The italic construction is more than a simple slant, showing true drawn italic shapes and lively terminals that increase character in display sizes.
