A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, swelling bowls, and crisp hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, often flowing into the stroke with a calligraphic feel rather than sitting as rigid terminals. The italic angle is assertive, producing lively diagonals and a forward rhythm, while counters remain open and legible. Uppercase forms are broad and confident with strong vertical stress; lowercase is more fluid, with single-storey-style, handwritten energy in letters like a, g, and y and teardrop/ball-like terminals in places. Numerals echo the same dramatic thick–thin modulation and angled stance, giving a cohesive, display-ready texture.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where strong contrast and italic motion can create impact. It can also work for premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, expressive serif voice, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, with a fashion-forward sheen that reads as premium and intentional. Its sharp contrast and energetic italics evoke editorial typography, classic print refinement, and a touch of flamboyance suited to expressive branding.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and an emphatic italic attitude, prioritizing elegance and visual drama over quiet neutrality. It’s built to project sophistication and energy in prominent typographic roles.
Spacing in the samples suggests it’s designed to form dark, cohesive word shapes at headline sizes, where the contrast and terminal details can breathe. The design leans on sweeping entry/exit strokes and pronounced joins, creating a distinctive, slightly calligraphic texture even in straight text lines.
