This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with energetic, calligraphic construction and clearly flared, wedge-like stroke endings. Stems show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with tapered entry strokes and sharp, clean joins that create a crisp rhythm across lines. The lowercase has a tall x-height and relatively narrow apertures, while ascenders and capitals feel stately and slightly compressed by the strong slant. Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, with bold strokes and tapered terminals that keep the set visually consistent.
It is well suited to headline and display typography where contrast and slanted motion can carry personality—magazine features, book jackets, cultural posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section openers where a rich typographic color is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and dramatic, combining a classical, old-world elegance with a lively, editorial snap. It reads as refined and premium, yet expressive enough to feel bespoke rather than purely formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with contemporary punch: strong contrast, flared serif behavior, and a tall lowercase that keeps it compact and readable while still feeling distinctly expressive.
In text, the strong diagonal stress and flared terminals produce a pronounced texture that rewards moderate-to-large sizes, where the tapering and internal counters remain clear. The italic angle is consistent and gives headlines a forward motion without becoming overly cursive.
