A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The letterforms show sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read as cut and chiseled rather than rounded, with occasional ball-like terminals in the lowercase. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dark and rhythmic, with lively diagonal stress and slightly varied character widths that create an expressive, flowing line. Numerals match the display tone, mixing strong weight with delicate hairlines and angled entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine-style layouts where high contrast and italic movement can be showcased. It can add a premium, stylish tone to branding, packaging, and poster work, especially when used at display sizes with comfortable spacing.
The font projects a polished, dramatic personality associated with luxury and editorial typography. Its energetic italic motion and sharp contrast lend a sense of sophistication and flair, balancing classical formality with a more theatrical, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with amplified contrast and an italic, calligraphic edge for impactful display typography. It prioritizes expressive rhythm, sharp detailing, and a luxe editorial voice over quiet, utilitarian text color.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed joins become a defining feature, while in tighter settings the bold stems create a dense, punchy color. The italic angle is consistent and the shapes favor crisp edges and tapered details, which helps it stand out in short text and titling.
