This typeface is a right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals that read as subtly flared at stroke endings. Capitals are relatively wide with crisp, bracketed serifs and sharp interior joins, while lowercase forms show more calligraphic behavior—curved entries, wedge-like finishing strokes, and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm across letters. The overall color is strong and inky, with narrow hairlines contrasted against substantial stems, and spacing that feels designed for display sizes rather than dense text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent display settings where the high contrast and tapered detailing can remain clear. It can also work well for luxury-leaning branding, packaging, and editorial identities that benefit from a classic yet energetic italic voice.
The design conveys a polished, high-end tone with a sense of movement and tension typical of fashion and publishing typography. Its sharp transitions and energetic slant give it a confident, theatrical presence, while the classical serif structure keeps it grounded and formal.
The likely intention is to provide a strong, elegant display serif that merges traditional letterforms with calligraphic motion, creating a dramatic italic presence for contemporary editorial and brand applications.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive angled terminals and a more ornamental ‘2’ and ‘3’ that emphasize the calligraphic influence. Round letters (O, Q, o) are slightly stressed, reinforcing the drawn, pen-like construction rather than a purely geometric build.
