This is a right-leaning serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly sculpted, calligraphic construction. Stems and terminals taper into sharp wedge-like serifs with subtle flaring, and many joins show bracketed transitions that add a carved, print-like feel. Counters are compact and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable variation in character widths and energetic diagonals (especially in letters like V, W, X, and the lowercases). The lowercase features single-storey forms for a and g, a slanted f with a long descender, and a ball-topped j; numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic with pointed terminals and a prominent diagonal stress.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where contrast and italic energy can carry the page. It fits editorial and magazine design, fashion or cultural branding, and premium packaging that wants a classic-but-dynamic serif voice. For longer passages, it will read best at comfortable sizes with careful tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining old-style sophistication with a more theatrical, headline-ready bite. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast create a sense of motion and drama, while the serif details keep it grounded in classic editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif with calligraphic sharpness and flared, wedge-like endings—prioritizing expressive texture and a refined, print-forward character for display and editorial use.
In text, the pronounced slant and strong contrast make the texture vivid and slightly restless, favoring expressive settings over quiet neutrality. The sharp apexes and tapered ends benefit from generous spacing and sufficient size, where the refined details and bracketed serifs remain clear.
