A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction: thick, rounded main strokes taper into fine hairlines, and terminals often finish in sharp, slightly hooked points. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with a lively, forward-leaning rhythm and noticeable stroke modulation through curves and joins. The uppercase forms feel sculpted and slightly expansive, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence—single-storey forms, energetic entry/exit strokes, and occasional swash-like terminals (notably in letters such as a, f, g, and w). Numerals follow the same italic logic with elegant contrast and angled stress, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, book and album covers, pull quotes, and formal invitations where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif impression with added movement, but will typically be most comfortable in short to medium text at generous sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a confident, slightly theatrical flair. Its strong contrast and crisp hairlines create a sense of refinement and ceremony, while the expressive italic shapes add motion and personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and an expressive italic temperament, balancing traditional proportions with calligraphic energy for impactful, polished typography in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing and texture appear optimized for larger settings: the boldened stems and sharp counters produce a dark, high-impact color, and the pronounced italic angle can create a dynamic, headline-like cadence. Hairline details and pointed terminals may require mindful sizing and reproduction on low-resolution outputs.
