This typeface is an italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward, energetic slant. Strokes show tapered, flared terminals rather than abrupt slab endings, producing a sharpened, calligraphic feel. Counters are open and the overall rhythm is flowing, with long, gently curved entry and exit strokes that add momentum across words. Proportions read on the broader side with generous horizontal spread, while caps feel commanding and the lowercase maintains a balanced, mid-range x-height.
It performs best as a display serif for editorial headlines, magazine typography, cultural posters, and brand identities that want a refined, classical voice with motion. It can also work for short pull quotes or larger-size book typography, where the contrast and italic rhythm can be appreciated without becoming overly busy.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive—more literary and fashion-minded than neutral. Its crisp contrast and sweeping italics convey sophistication and motion, with a slightly dramatic, high-end sensibility suited to attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with an expressive italic, using flared terminals and strong contrast to create a sense of speed and elegance. It aims for a premium, literary look that stands out in display settings while remaining coherent in short text runs.
The figures follow the same italic construction and contrast, integrating smoothly into text. The ampersand is notably italic and looped, reinforcing the calligraphic personality. In longer passages the strong diagonal stress and sharp terminals create a lively texture that benefits from comfortable leading.
