A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and sculpted, flaring stroke endings. Stems and diagonals show strong thick–thin modulation, with rounded joins and subtly bracketed, curved serifs that read as soft wedges rather than sharp slabs. Counters are generous and open, while the overall rhythm feels lively due to sweeping entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like terminals. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly wide with crisp interior apertures; lowercase has a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a and compact, flowing forms that keep texture dense but readable.
This design is well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and motion add emphasis. It can also work for book covers, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with expressive italic energy. In longer passages it will feel most at home at comfortable text sizes where the contrast and detailing can resolve cleanly.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining traditional sophistication with a bit of theatrical movement from the strong italic angle and bold modulation. It suggests confidence and formality, but the flared endings and rounded details keep it approachable and expressive rather than rigid.
The font appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with elevated contrast and a distinctly italic, calligraphic cadence, offering a premium, expressive alternative to more static text serifs while preserving familiar proportions and readability.
Numerals are weighty and old-style in spirit, with curving forms and pronounced contrast that help them blend with text. The italic construction is consistent across cases, and the font maintains a steady text color while still showing noticeable gesture in letters like g, y, and Q.
