This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes move from hairline thins to sharply weighted diagonals, with tapered terminals and subtle flaring where strokes finish, creating a lively, ink-driven rhythm. The letters are moderately proportioned with a normal x-height, generous curves, and long, sweeping extenders—especially visible in the descending forms and the broad italic entry/exit strokes. Counters are open and oval, and the overall texture is light and glossy, with pronounced slant and elegant spacing that keeps lines from feeling cramped at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, book and film titles, pull quotes, and elegant brand lockups where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can work for short-to-medium text in print-oriented settings, but the very fine hairlines and strong italic movement suggest keeping sizes and reproduction conditions comfortable for clarity.
The tone is cultured and expressive, evoking bookish refinement and fashion/editorial polish rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its energetic slant and delicate hairlines communicate sophistication and a sense of motion, lending a romantic, classical flavor to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic voice with traditional serif credibility and a noticeable calligraphic flair. By combining crisp high contrast with tapered, subtly flared endings, it aims to feel luxurious and expressive while maintaining a composed, editorial structure.
Uppercase forms feel formal and sculpted, while the lowercase shows more handwriting-like movement and varied stroke endings, giving the font a dynamic, slightly theatrical cadence. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with curved forms and fine finishing strokes that reinforce a premium, print-oriented character.
