A high-contrast italic serif with strongly tapered strokes and sharp, triangular terminals. Serifs are bracketed and lively, with pronounced entry/exit strokes that create a continuous forward flow. Counters are relatively tight in the heavier letters, while curves and diagonals show crisp modulation from hairline to thick stem. The lowercase includes several expressive shapes (notably in g, j, y, z) with swash-like hooks and angled finishing strokes, and the numerals echo the same italic stress and pointed details.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—magazine headlines, decks, pull quotes, and upscale branding. It can work for introductory paragraphs or highlighted passages in print-oriented layouts, while long body text may feel visually insistent due to the heavy thick strokes and pronounced slant.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing traditional bookish cues with a more flamboyant, display-leaning italic energy. It reads as confident and upscale, with a sense of motion and a slightly dramatic, fashion/editorial attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and an expressive italic voice, aiming for a luxurious, attention-grabbing look without leaving conventional serif territory. Its forms prioritize stylistic impact and forward rhythm, suggesting use in editorial and branding contexts where a distinctive italic is desirable.
In text settings the dense, boldened thick strokes can dominate, while the hairlines and sharp terminals add sparkle and rhythm. The strong slant and distinctive punctuation-like curls on some lowercase forms increase personality and help it stand out in headlines and pull quotes.
