A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as crisp wedges rather than blunt terminals. The shapes are broad and open, with wide rounds (notably in O/Q) and generous internal counters that keep the heavy weight from clogging. Serifs and terminals show a mix of sharp points and subtle bracketing, while curves transition quickly from thick to hairline for a refined, cut-into-the-page look. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with compact, energetic forms and thin entry/exit strokes.
This font is best suited to short to medium-length settings where its contrast and italic motion can shine—magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and packaging. It can also work for hero text on websites or campaigns, especially where a classic-but-dramatic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and upscale, combining classical italic elegance with a more forceful, headline-driven presence. It feels editorial and fashion-forward, with dramatic contrast that adds theatricality and a sense of premium craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared finishing, balancing classical letterform cues with a bold, contemporary display presence for editorial and brand-facing typography.
The italic angle is assertive and consistent across cases, and the lowercase includes several lively, slightly swashy joins and terminals that enhance movement in text. The ampersand and the Q’s sweeping tail contribute to a more expressive, display-leaning character even when set in paragraph-like samples.
