A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that often sharpen into wedge-like endings. The curves show a calligraphic impulse, with rounded joins, tapered strokes, and occasional ball terminals, especially in the lowercase. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while the lowercase has lively rhythm and noticeable stroke swelling on diagonals and curves. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and generous curves that match the text color and movement of the letters.
This font is well suited for magazine and editorial headlines, pull quotes, and feature typography where an expressive italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It can also work for book covers, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from classic sophistication and strong typographic flavor.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, pairing a traditional bookish foundation with a more energetic, expressive slant. Its strong contrast and sculpted details create a sense of drama and refinement that feels suited to curated, high-attention typography rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly italic, calligraphic rhythm. It emphasizes elegance and impact through sharp serifs, sculpted curves, and oldstyle numerals that keep the texture lively in continuous reading.
The italic angle is confident and consistent, helping lines of text knit together into a distinctive, textured flow. Serifs and terminals remain sharp at larger sizes, and the design’s contrast and curvature give it a slightly theatrical presence in headlines while still reading as a conventional serif at text sizes.
