A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphy-driven stroke rhythm. Thin hairlines snap into fuller main strokes, with tapered, flared entry/exit strokes and gently bracketed serifs that often resolve into sharp beaks or soft ball terminals. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, while lowercase forms show flowing joins and distinct swelling at curves, giving the texture a dynamic, slightly irregular “inked” feel without losing overall consistency. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered terminals that read well in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other short-to-medium display text where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work well for refined branding, event materials, and cover typography where an elegant, traditional voice is desired.
The tone is cultured and expressive, evoking bookish sophistication and old-world refinement. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic motion give it a formal, romantic feel suitable for elevated, editorial voice, while the spirited terminals keep it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif experience with a distinctly calligraphic italic flavor—prioritizing expressive movement, high contrast, and decorative terminals for premium display typography rather than plain text neutrality.
The letterforms emphasize diagonal energy and tapered stroke endings, creating a strong sense of movement across lines. Counters remain open enough for display sizes, but the sharp hairlines and animated terminals contribute more to personality than to utilitarian neutrality.
