A steeply slanted serif with pronounced calligraphic stress and sharply modulated strokes. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with tapered entry/exit strokes that give many forms a chiselled, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in the heavier strokes, while curves and joins stay smooth and controlled, producing a compact, energetic texture in setting. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-contrast, italic construction, maintaining consistent weight and a distinctly angled posture across the set.
Well suited to display and editorial roles such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and slant can carry personality. It can also work for sophisticated branding and packaging, especially when used with ample size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a strong editorial flair. Its sharp contrast and decisive slant read as confident and slightly dramatic, lending a sense of prestige and formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic voice with heightened contrast and a strong forward motion, echoing calligraphic construction while remaining structured enough for conventional text and display composition.
The letterforms show a lively baseline movement typical of true italics, with varied widths and dynamic curves that help headlines feel animated. At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed details become a key part of its character, contributing to a crisp, high-end impression.
