A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered stems, hairline joins, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show calligraphic energy with angled stress, crisp wedge-like serifs, and frequent teardrop/ball terminals, especially in the lowercase. Curves are generously sculpted (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals), and the overall rhythm is dynamic, with a slightly theatrical sweep in diagonals and entry/exit strokes. Spacing appears designed for display, keeping counters open while letting flourishes and terminals create a lively texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion/editorial layouts, and brand identities that benefit from high-contrast elegance. It can also work well for invitations, packaging, and short pull quotes where its swashy terminals and italic motion can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classic serif tradition with fashion-forward flair. Its sharp contrast and swashy details read as luxurious and expressive, evoking editorial headlines, boutique branding, and formal invitations rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, classical serif voice with heightened drama through strong contrast and expressive italic forms. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and editorial impact, offering an upscale look for display-driven typography.
Several glyphs feature distinctive terminals and curls (e.g., J, S, g, y, and the 2/3/5), giving the set a signature personality. Numerals maintain the same high-contrast, stylized construction as the letters, supporting cohesive titling and date-setting in display contexts.
