A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharply tapered stroke endings. Serifs are compact and mostly bracketed, with wedge-like terminals and crisp joins that emphasize a calligraphic, drawn-with-a-pen feel. Curves are full and slightly teardrop-shaped in places, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes create a lively rhythm. Overall proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height, sturdy capitals, and bold presence that holds together well at display sizes.
This face is well suited to headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where an assertive italic voice is desirable. It can also work for pull quotes and short passages that benefit from a classic, dramatic texture, especially when paired with a calmer roman for longer reading.
The tone is formal and literary, evoking traditional publishing and classic typography with a touch of flourish. Its energetic italic movement and sharp finishing details add drama and confidence without becoming ornamental script.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with heightened contrast and a bold, attention-getting color, balancing conventional text-serif structure with calligraphic energy for impactful editorial use.
Capitals read as stately and slightly condensed in feel due to the slant and tight serif treatment, while lowercase forms show more movement through angled strokes and occasional swashy shapes. Numerals match the italic energy and contrast, contributing to a cohesive, emphatic texture in paragraphs.
