A sharply modulated serif with steep stroke-contrast and a consistent rightward italic slant. Stems and terminals taper into fine hairlines, with bracketed, subtly flared serif endings that give the forms a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Proportions are compact in the lowercase with a noticeably short x-height, while ascenders and capitals rise prominently, creating a tall, refined vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, counters stay relatively narrow, and the overall texture reads crisp and glossy at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-leaning branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from an elegant, high-impact serif with a fashion sensibility.
The tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classical bookish heritage with a fashion-forward bite. Its dramatic contrast and italic energy suggest sophistication, exclusivity, and a hint of vintage glamour.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-drama italic serif for display typography, combining calligraphic tapering with refined, flared serif shaping to create a premium, editorial voice.
The numerals and capitals show a display-first personality: thin joining strokes and pointed terminals add sparkle, while the heavier main strokes keep headings assertive. The italic angle and narrow apertures can create dense color in long lines, reinforcing its role as a statement face rather than a quiet text workhorse.
