A slanted serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered wedge serifs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pointed terminals and fine hairlines that create a lively, high-contrast rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. The proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with a flowing italic skeleton and subtle calligraphic stress; counters are open but not generous, keeping the overall color rich and dark. Numerals appear text-like with varied widths and oldstyle-style movement, matching the italic cadence of the letters.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also serve for refined branding, invitations, and book-cover titling, especially in larger sizes where the delicate hairlines and tapered serifs remain clear.
The face reads as refined and expressive, combining classic bookish authority with a stylish, editorial flair. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast give it a cultivated, high-end tone suited to elegant messaging rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Likely intended as a high-contrast italic serif for expressive reading and display, blending traditional serif structure with a more fashion/editorial sensibility. The design prioritizes elegance and rhythm through calligraphic stress, sharp serifs, and a dark, confident texture.
Capitals have a sculpted, inscriptional feel with clean apexes and delicately finished hairlines, while the lowercase shows energetic entry/exit strokes that reinforce the italic flow. At larger sizes the hairlines and terminals become a key part of the personality, giving text a sparkling texture.
