This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with broad proportions and a strongly calligraphic construction. Thick, weighty stems pair with hairline joins and sharp, tapered terminals, creating a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs and endings often flare and curve rather than sit as rigid horizontal slabs, giving strokes a sculpted, ink-like finish. The letterforms show pronounced stroke modulation and tight inner counters in heavier areas, while round characters remain open and energetic; numerals and capitals maintain the same assertive, display-oriented stance.
It performs best in display settings such as headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and campaign typography where its contrast and italic energy can read clearly. It also suits branding and packaging that call for a premium, fashion or hospitality-oriented voice, especially when set with ample spacing and at larger sizes.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial elegance. It feels luxurious and expressive—more about attitude and cadence than quiet neutrality—suited to headlines that want to look crafted and premium.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif elegance with a more expressive, contemporary display presence. By combining wide, bold silhouettes with flared, calligraphic terminals and strong modulation, it aims to deliver high-impact typography that still feels refined and crafted.
The italic slant is consistent and strong, and many terminals resolve into pointed wedges or curved beaks that heighten motion. The texture in running words is dense and punchy at larger sizes, with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines against the heavy main strokes.
