A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, wedge-like serifs and sharp, tapered terminals. The strokes show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, with heavy main stems and hairline joins that create a crisp, glossy texture in larger sizes. Letterforms lean strongly forward and feel generously proportioned, with rounded bowls and occasional swashy entry/exit strokes (notably in the lowercase). Counters remain fairly open despite the weight, and the numerals echo the same dramatic contrast and angled stress.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and italic motion can be showcased. It can also work for premium packaging or titling where a luxurious, dramatic voice is desired.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, pairing classic serif structure with a fashion-forward italic energy. Its assertive contrast and sweeping curves read as elegant and attention-seeking rather than quiet or purely utilitarian.
This font appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and an emphatic italic stance, aiming for a refined yet bold editorial presence. The swashy details and sculpted terminals suggest a focus on expressive, high-impact typography rather than subdued body copy.
In text, the pronounced italic slant and narrow hairlines create a lively, sparkling cadence that can look refined at display sizes but may feel intense at smaller settings. The design’s sharp joins and tapered serifs give it a distinctly carved, high-end finish.
