A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm driven by diagonal stress and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Capitals are wide and dignified with crisp joins and pointed details, while lowercase forms show lively cursive inflections, compact counters, and a flowing baseline movement. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, mixing narrow and broader figures for a varied, dynamic texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, such as pull quotes, intros, and subheads. It also fits formal titling, cover typography, invitations, and identity work that benefits from a classic serif with a more expressive, calligraphic slant.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish elegance and old-style formality. Its energetic italic flow adds drama and motion, reading as expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif foundation while delivering a distinctly expressive italic character for emphasis and display. The combination of sharp bracketed serifs, pronounced contrast, and flowing cursive cues suggests an aim toward refined, literary typography with added dramatic motion.
Stroke endings often resolve into thin wedges or beak-like terminals, and several letters use generous swashes and curved shoulders that increase visual momentum in text. The texture in paragraphs appears contrasty and sparkling, with strong dark strokes balanced by very fine hairlines.
