A right-leaning serif with pronounced calligraphic construction and crisp, high-contrast strokes. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracketed into the stems, with flared terminals that taper to sharp points rather than forming blunt slabs. The overall rhythm is energetic: rounded letters show tight, teardrop-like joins and narrowed apertures, while capitals have sculpted, angled entry/exit strokes that emphasize the slanted axis. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with elegant curves and pointed finishing strokes that keep the texture dark but lively in continuous text.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and sculpted details can read clearly—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, premium brand marks, and poster typography. It can also work for short-form text such as pull quotes or subheads when set with generous size and spacing.
The tone is formal and expressive, projecting a refined, fashion-forward voice with a hint of historic book typography. Its sharp terminals and sweeping italic movement add drama and immediacy, making it feel premium and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears aimed at delivering an elegant italic voice that blends traditional serif structure with flared, tapered finishing strokes for heightened drama. It prioritizes expressive movement and a polished, high-end texture for attention-grabbing typographic settings.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into tapered hooks and angled wedges, giving the face a distinctive bite in letters like S, a, s, and y. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the contrast distribution suggests a broad-nib influence with a clearly defined diagonal stress.
