A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, rounded main strokes that create a bold, glossy texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and often form pointed, calligraphic terminals, with pronounced entry/exit strokes that give letters a slightly swashy, forward-driven rhythm. Uppercase forms feel broad and sculptural, while lowercase shows lively modulation and angled stress; counters are tight enough to read as punchy and dense at display sizes. Numerals match the italic momentum and contrast, with curved forms and strong thick–thin transitions that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—headlines, magazine titling, pull quotes, and poster work. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a classic-yet-dramatic voice, especially at medium to large sizes where hairlines and terminals stay crisp.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, combining classic serif heritage with a fashion-forward italic swagger. It reads as assertive and refined rather than delicate, projecting confidence and a sense of premium editorial styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and a distinctly italic, calligraphic flair, producing a bold editorial look that stands out in titles and expressive short texts.
In text, the strong contrast and energetic joins create a distinctive sparkle, especially in round letters and diagonals. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the heavier stems keep the font feeling sturdy even with very thin hairlines.
