A high-contrast italic serif with a strongly calligraphic construction and a forward-leaning, fast rhythm. Thick stems and hairline connections create crisp light traps and sharp joins, while bracketed wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals add a sculpted, engraved feel. Proportions skew wide with generous spacing, and the outlines show subtle modulation that keeps curves lively in letters like C, S, and O. Descenders are long and energetic, and several lowercase forms (such as f, j, y, and z) carry pronounced hooks and sweeping exits that emphasize motion.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine decks, pull quotes, and brand expressions where contrast and motion can read clearly. It also works well for elegant packaging, invitations, and short editorial passages when set at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing to accommodate the long descenders and delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, reading as premium and editorial rather than utilitarian. Its steep contrast and expressive italics suggest sophistication and glamour, with a slightly theatrical flourish that suits attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif structure through a distinctly calligraphic italic lens, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive movement for high-impact typography.
The numerals mirror the same italic stress and contrast, with angled tops and sharp wedge terminals that keep figures coherent with the text. At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed details feel especially crisp, while the lively entry/exit strokes give words a flowing, hand-guided texture even in otherwise conventional letterforms.
