This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes transition from hairline-thin to weighty stems, creating a crisp, shimmering texture at text sizes. The italic construction feels calligraphic rather than mechanical, with subtly tapered joins, energetic terminals, and varied stroke modulation across the alphabet. Proportions read as traditional for a text serif, with compact counters and a steady baseline rhythm that becomes more dramatic in capitals and round letters.
This font is well suited for italic roles in long-form reading—such as emphasis, titles within text, or quoted material in books and essays. It also performs well in editorial settings like magazines and newspapers, and can be used for refined headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a classic, high-contrast italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, leaning toward classic book and editorial typography. Its strong contrast and brisk italic motion give it a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for conveying emphasis with authority rather than casualness.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic cadence. Its sharp serifs and strong modulation prioritize elegance and typographic color, delivering expressive emphasis while retaining a conventional text-serif structure.
Capitals present a bold, sculpted presence, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent slant and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals share the same contrast and italic angle, helping mixed text and figures feel integrated and stylistically unified.
