A high-contrast italic serif with sweeping diagonals and a lively, calligraphic stress. Stems and joins show flared shaping into the stroke endings, paired with bracketed serifs that read crisp and sculpted rather than slab-like. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, with pointed apexes and clean, tapered transitions; lowercase is energetic with pronounced curves, angled entry strokes, and tight, dark counters typical of display italics. Numerals carry the same sculpted contrast and angled stance, maintaining a cohesive, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand marks where dramatic contrast and italic motion can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short subheads or premium packaging copy when a refined, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is theatrical and refined, balancing classical bookish cues with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italics create a sense of movement and confidence, suggesting premium, attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast italic with flared, sculptural terminals that amplify stroke rhythm and presence. It prioritizes expressive display clarity and a polished editorial feel over understated, long-form text neutrality.
Spacing appears intentionally generous in uppercase, while lowercase text builds a strong dark stripe that emphasizes contrast and slanted motion. The flared stroke endings give many letters a subtly chiseled, engraved character, helping the design feel formal yet expressive.
