A vigorous italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward-leaning, calligraphic stress. Serifs are clearly bracketed and often sharpen into wedge-like terminals, giving the outlines a crisp, carved feel. Uppercase forms read broad and steady, while the lowercase shows more movement through angled entry/exit strokes, compact joins, and slightly varying character widths. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with open curves and strong contrast that keeps figures prominent at text and display sizes.
It performs best where a confident italic voice is desirable—magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, posters, and prominent pull quotes. The strong contrast and crisp terminals help it hold attention in short to medium runs of text, particularly in print-like layouts where a classic serif italic is expected.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting tradition and authority while still feeling energetic due to the strong slant and high-contrast strokes. It carries a refined, bookish mood suited to cultured, formal messaging, with a touch of drama in the sharpened terminals and lively cursive rhythm.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with an expressive italic personality—combining authoritative, conventional letterforms with calligraphic movement for emphasis and hierarchy.
The design maintains consistent contrast and slant across letters and figures, producing an even rightward flow in paragraphs. Curves are smoothly modeled but end in decisive points and wedges, which increases sparkle and emphasis; this character is especially noticeable in diagonals and rounded letters.
