A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with calligraphic entry/exit strokes that create lively diagonals and a pronounced forward slant. Capitals are relatively narrow and statuesque with crisp terminals, while lowercase forms show round, swelling bowls and delicate hairline joins that emphasize rhythm and contrast. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curving spurs and compact, flowing forms that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its contrast and italic momentum can be appreciated. It can also serve for refined branding and book-cover titling, especially in larger sizes where hairlines and brackets remain crisp.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing traditional bookish authority with fashion-editorial flair. Its sharp hairlines and energetic italic movement give it a sense of speed and sophistication, making the text feel elevated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic optimized for expressive, high-contrast display typography, combining classic proportions with a more fashion-forward sharpness and movement.
Spacing appears built for display: counters are generous in round letters, while tight hairline connections and pointed terminals create sparkle and texture in continuous text. The ampersand and swashy terminals in letters like J, Q, and y add a subtly decorative finish without tipping into script.
