A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and pointed, bracketed serifs that create a crisp, carved finish. The letterforms lean with a steady angle and show strong diagonal stress, producing an animated rhythm in text. Uppercase shapes are narrow and tall with tapered strokes, while the lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height and tightly controlled curves. Numerals follow the same sharp, calligraphic logic, with clear thick–thin modulation and angled entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and italic energy can read clearly. It can add a classic, upscale voice to magazine layouts, book jackets, cultural posters, and formal stationery, and works well for short-to-medium text passages when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a classic editorial sophistication. Its lively italic motion and sharp detailing suggest a refined, fashion-forward seriousness rather than a casual or friendly voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a more dramatic, calligraphic edge—balancing classical proportions with sharper detailing for expressive editorial emphasis.
Stroke joins and terminals are consistently clean and pointed, giving the face a precise, engraved feel at display sizes. The narrow proportions and high contrast make spacing and rhythm feel tight and energetic, especially in mixed-case text.
