A high-contrast serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic construction and crisp, flared wedge serifs. Strokes show diagonal stress, with hairline connecting strokes and fuller verticals that broaden into bracketed, tapered endings. The italic angle is consistent and moderately forward, producing a flowing rhythm; capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms stay compact with clean entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same sharp, chiseled logic, with angled terminals and clear thick–thin modulation.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined branding where italic emphasis is part of the voice. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes when a classic, high-contrast texture is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a sense of tradition and cultivated elegance. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add drama and a slightly formal, editorial attitude rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic voice with heightened contrast and assertive, flared serifs—balancing legibility with a refined, expressive stroke finish for editorial and branding impact.
Spacing appears designed to keep large italic text readable, with clear counters and disciplined stroke joins that prevent the high contrast from feeling brittle. The flared endings give the texture a carved, engraved feel, especially noticeable in diagonals and curved joins.
