A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes end in tapered, flared terminals and small bracketed serifs, giving joins a soft, sculpted feel rather than sharp mechanical cuts. The letterforms show lively curvature and slightly variable proportions, with generous, rounded bowls and energetic diagonals; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sweeping curves and crisp hairlines. Overall spacing feels comfortable for display, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and cover typography where its contrast and italic energy can carry the page. It can also serve branding and packaging that aims for a classic-yet-expressive voice; for longer passages, it will be more comfortable when set with ample size and leading.
The tone is refined and expressive, balancing classic bookish authority with a theatrical, fashion-forward flair. Its flowing shapes and high-contrast detailing suggest sophistication and motion, making text feel intentional and premium rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic italic serif forms, emphasizing calligraphic motion, high-contrast elegance, and flared finishing details for strong display impact.
Capitals read with a stately presence while the lowercase provides more movement through curved shoulders and tapered entries. The design’s sharp hairlines and flared endings become especially prominent at larger sizes, where the stroke contrast and italic sweep are most legible.
