This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and strongly bracketed serifs. The diagonally stressed, calligraphic construction shows thick verticals and hairline joins, with teardrop-like ends on many strokes and a sculpted, wedgey feel where stems broaden into serifs. Proportions read on the wider side with generous counters and a slightly lively, uneven rhythm typical of display italics; curves are full and taut, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X) cut sharply with fine hairlines. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with crisp entry/exit strokes and a distinctly engraved, editorial texture in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and flare can read cleanly. It works especially well for editorial and magazine design, book and album covers, posters, and brand moments that aim for a classic-yet-expressive voice.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining old-style sophistication with a fashion-forward punch. Its sweeping italic motion and hairline details give it a refined, slightly flamboyant character suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a display italic that merges traditional serif conventions with flared, calligraphic terminals to create drama and motion. Its widened proportions and sculpted contrast suggest a goal of strong presence and a luxurious print-like texture in larger typography.
In continuous sample text the bold massing stays strong, while the hairlines and tight joins create a sparkling, engraved texture. The font’s italic slant and flared terminals amplify word shape and movement, making it feel energetic and premium at larger sizes.
