A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and broad, weighty main strokes. The letterforms show a pronounced forward slant, flowing entry/exit strokes, and bracketed serifs that often resolve into pointed, wedge-like terminals. Curves are generous and glossy, with teardrop/ball-like details appearing in places (notably in lowercase forms), giving the design a slightly calligraphic, display-oriented rhythm. Spacing and proportions feel lively rather than strictly uniform, with wide, rounded bowls and energetic diagonals that create a dynamic texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and brand applications that benefit from an upscale italic voice. It can also work for short passages at larger sizes where its contrast and decorative terminals remain crisp, but it is most convincing when used as a display serif rather than dense body copy.
The font conveys a polished, fashion-forward tone—formal and refined, yet theatrical due to the strong contrast and sweeping italic movement. It reads as traditional and literary, with enough flourish to feel luxurious and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast italics for modern editorial and branding use, emphasizing drama, elegance, and a sense of crafted, calligraphic motion while retaining conventional serif structure.
Uppercase forms project a stately, engraved feel, while the lowercase adds more motion and personality through curved strokes and occasional bulb terminals. Numerals and capitals maintain the same dramatic stroke modulation, supporting use in headline settings where contrast and slant are part of the visual signature.
