An italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, high-contrast strokes. Stems taper and flare into wedge-like terminals and sharp serifs, giving the outlines a subtly chiseled, calligraphic feel rather than blunt endings. Curves are taut and slightly compressed, with lively entry and exit strokes that create a quick rhythm across words. Capitals are sweeping and formal, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable x-height with distinctive, flowing ascenders and descenders.
Performs best in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, book covers, and section openers where the italic motion and contrast can be appreciated. It also suits branding and packaging that needs a classic, premium voice, and poster work where sharp, tapered serifs add impact.
The tone is cultured and expressive, balancing classical book typography with a fashionable editorial energy. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant feel sophisticated and a touch theatrical, suited to conveying taste, tradition, and confidence.
Likely designed to deliver an expressive italic voice rooted in traditional serif forms, emphasizing flared terminals and calligraphic stroke logic for a refined, display-forward texture. The intent appears to be a versatile, elegant italic that can carry both formal titles and stylish editorial emphasis.
Figures follow the same italic momentum, with elegant curves and strong thick–thin modulation; the “0” reads as an oval with clear contrast. The overall texture on the line is dark but articulate, with clean counters and crisp joins that keep the high contrast from looking fragile at display sizes.
