A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a carved, kinetic feel. Serifs are pointed and wedge-like rather than blocky, with many terminals resolving into crisp beaks and hooks. Curves are taut and slightly condensed, keeping counters relatively tight while maintaining a steady baseline rhythm. The italic construction shows clear calligraphic influence in letters like a, f, g, and y, with sweeping entry/exit strokes and a consistent, forward drive.
Best suited for headlines, editorial deck lines, pull quotes, and poster typography where the contrast and sharp terminals can read large and crisp. It can also work well in branding, packaging, and luxury-facing identities that benefit from an energetic italic voice. For longer passages, it will likely perform best at comfortable text sizes with generous spacing and line height.
The overall tone reads confident and theatrical, with a fashion-forward elegance that feels suited to premium and attention-grabbing settings. Its sharp terminals and emphatic contrast lend a sense of drama and tradition at once, evoking classic print styling with a more assertive, contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif with a refined, fashion/editorial character, combining classical proportions with vivid contrast and tapered endings to maximize drama and sophistication in display use.
The capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase is more expressive, creating a strong hierarchy in mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, appearing designed to stand out in short strings and display contexts rather than disappear into body copy.
