A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and a distinctly calligraphic stroke rhythm. Thick stems pair with very thin hairlines and sharp, tapered joins, while the serifs are small, bracketed, and often knife-like in their finishing. Capitals feel broad and stately with crisp horizontals, and the lowercase shows lively modulation with curved entry/exit strokes, occasional ball terminals, and a slightly swashy, energetic texture. Figures follow the same contrast and slant, reading as display-oriented with elegant, thin connections and strong thick–thin transitions.
Best suited for headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where the contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages in premium print contexts at comfortable sizes, but its fine hairlines suggest avoiding overly small text or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with an emphatic, theatrical edge created by the extreme contrast and forward motion. It reads as confident and polished—suited to content that wants to feel established, authoritative, and a bit flamboyant rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic, old-style elegance in a more extroverted italic voice—combining traditional serif cues with heightened contrast and a showy, forward-leaning stance for high-impact typography.
In paragraphs the strong diagonal stress and hairline details create a bright, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The italic construction is consistently integrated across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the face a cohesive, flowing cadence.
