A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, diagonal-stress feel. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like and often softly bracketed into the stems, with tapered terminals and occasional swashy strokes that add movement. Proportions are slightly condensed in places, with lively curves and a rhythmic, ink-on-paper texture; italics forms feel purposefully drawn rather than mechanically obliqued. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and crisp joins that keep the overall silhouette energetic.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover titling where its contrast and swashy detailing can read clearly. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial passages when ample size and spacing are available, especially in fashion, culture, and literary contexts.
The tone is polished and expressive, combining traditional bookish elegance with a bit of theatrical flair. Its slant and sharp serifs create a sense of speed and emphasis, giving text a confident, editorial voice suited to premium, style-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, editorial italic with a traditional serif foundation, emphasizing contrast, sharp serifs, and calligraphic motion to create memorable typography for prominent, high-impact text.
In running text, the strong contrast and tapered details produce a sparkling texture with noticeable vertical rhythm and dynamic entry/exit strokes. At larger sizes, the distinctive terminals and italic construction become the main character features, lending a decorative edge without abandoning classic serif structure.
