A sharply angled serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. The design shows a calligraphic construction: heavy main strokes paired with hairline joins, plus brisk entry/exit strokes that create a fast rightward rhythm. Serifs read as finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with subtle flare at stroke ends that adds a chiseled, sculpted finish. Letterforms are relatively compact with a steady, upright-to-italic stress and consistent spacing that keeps dense text blocks cohesive despite the strong contrast.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, and brand statements where high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also works well for premium packaging and posters, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, pairing classic bookish cues with a runway/editorial punch. It feels confident and polished—more about elegance and drama than warmth or neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver an upscale, editorial italic voice that feels traditional in structure but heightened for impact. Its flared, tapered finishing and strong contrast suggest an intent to look luxurious and attention-grabbing in display settings while remaining coherent in short text passages.
Lowercase forms emphasize sweeping curves and pointed joins, while capitals maintain a stately silhouette with sharp, clean edges. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, reading crisp and display-forward rather than utilitarian.
