A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong, right-leaning axis. Letterforms show flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs that create sharp entry/exit strokes, especially on diagonals and curves. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, with a sculpted rhythm that alternates broad black strokes and hairline connections. Numerals and capitals carry a slightly display-oriented presence, with lively curves and occasional swash-like tails that accentuate the italic flow.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of display text where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging, particularly in contexts that benefit from a classic-yet-expressive serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining a classic editorial sensibility with a fashion-forward edge. Its energetic slant and crisp contrast feel dramatic and premium, lending a sense of motion and sophistication rather than neutrality.
Likely designed as a display italic serif that emphasizes contrast, motion, and sculpted terminals to create a confident, editorial voice. The flared endings and calligraphic detailing suggest an intention to evoke tradition while remaining striking and contemporary in layout.
Texture becomes dense at paragraph sizes due to the heavy main strokes and narrow internal spaces, while the hairlines stay delicate and crisp. The italic construction is consistent across cases, with distinctive, calligraphic joins and tapered strokes that read especially well at larger sizes.
