This is an italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a strongly calligraphic construction. Letterforms show diagonal stress, tapered joins, and crisp wedge-like serifs with subtle bracketing, producing lively, sharp terminals throughout. The capitals are broad and assertive with sweeping curves and angled cross-strokes, while the lowercase has a moderately compact x-height and noticeably varied widths that create an energetic rhythm. Numerals are similarly slanted and high-contrast, with clear, sculpted forms that match the text’s editorial tone.
It works well for magazine features, book or journal titling, and other editorial contexts where an italic voice is meant to stand out. The strong contrast and sharp detailing make it especially effective for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and refined print pieces such as invitations or announcements.
The overall tone feels traditional and polished, with a distinctly editorial and literary flavor. Its slanted, high-contrast shapes convey elegance and authority, suggesting a voice suited to established publications and formal communications rather than casual interface work.
The design appears intended to provide a confident, high-contrast italic with a classic serif foundation—useful both as a complementary emphasis style in text and as a distinctive display face. Its calligraphic stress and tapered terminals prioritize elegance and expression while keeping forms conventional enough for familiar reading.
The italic angle is consistent and the spacing appears tuned for continuous reading, with strong internal whites in rounded letters and crisp counters that help maintain clarity despite the heavy contrast. The design leans on pointed, pen-like terminals (notably in letters such as a, f, and y) which adds motion and a slightly dramatic presence in display sizes.
