A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, pen-influenced rhythm. Serifs read as wedge-like and often softly bracketed into stems, giving the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic finish rather than a rigid mechanical one. Capitals are narrow and energetic with sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows flowing joins and angled stress, keeping counters compact and the overall texture dark and lively. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction, with curving strokes and decisive entry/exit terminals that maintain a cohesive typographic color across mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where an assertive italic voice is desired. It works well for book and magazine typography, pull quotes, cultural or fashion branding, and poster-style messaging where contrast and motion can carry the composition.
The tone is classic and formal with a touch of theatrical flair. Its strong contrast and italic motion convey elegance, speed, and authority, evoking editorial tradition and old-world sophistication rather than casual utility.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional serif voice with heightened italic expressiveness—balancing classical proportions with sharper, more dramatic contrast and terminals for impactful reading in titles and emphasized text.
The design favors pointed details and swift curves, producing a sparkling page texture at display sizes and a distinctly expressive silhouette in words. Angled strokes and tapered terminals create clear directional flow, which can emphasize hierarchy and emphasis in typographic layouts.
