An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared, tapering stroke endings that read as subtly calligraphic rather than mechanical. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant, brisk curves, and pointed terminals, with bracketed, wedge-like serifs that often broaden out of the main strokes. Counters are relatively compact in the lowercase, while capitals feel taller and more monumental, creating an energetic vertical rhythm. Overall spacing appears moderately tight in text, with lively diagonals and a slightly springy baseline feel typical of display-oriented italics.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, and other short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and angled momentum can read clearly. It also works well for brand marks and campaign typography that want a classic serif voice with extra flair; for long text, it will be strongest when set generously with comfortable leading.
The font conveys a refined, high-drama tone—fashion-forward and literary at once. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrast feel confident and theatrical, lending a sense of luxury and emphasis without becoming ornate script.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic with heightened contrast and flared finishing strokes—capturing a contemporary editorial look while echoing traditional calligraphic construction. It prioritizes gesture and emphasis, aiming to make titles and key phrases feel polished and distinctive.
Several shapes lean into italic character: a calligraphic single-storey “a,” a looping “g,” and a long, descending “f,” plus a distinctive, sweeping “Q” tail. Numerals follow the same italic energy with strong diagonals and crisp, tapered finishing strokes, making them visually assertive in headlines.
