A high-contrast serif italic with strongly tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and frequent teardrop/ball terminals, with a lively, calligraphic rhythm and noticeable entry/exit strokes that create a flowing baseline movement. Counters are relatively open and the overall color is dark and assertive, while the italics’ angled stress and varied character widths add dynamism. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with curled terminals and a slightly display-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where a dramatic italic can carry voice and hierarchy. It can also work well for premium branding and packaging where high contrast and classical detailing signal sophistication; for long passages, it will be most comfortable when used with ample leading and sizes that keep hairlines from disappearing.
The font reads as refined and theatrical, balancing classical bookish cues with a fashionable, expressive italic flourish. Its sharp contrast and swelling curves give it a luxurious, editorial tone suited to high-impact typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a bold, high-contrast italic serif that delivers an upscale, expressive look while retaining familiar serif structures for readable word shapes. Its construction suggests an emphasis on elegant movement and headline presence, with ornamental terminals and strong contrast used to amplify tone and personality.
Spacing appears generous for a bold italic, helping preserve clarity despite the heavy thick strokes and delicate hairlines. The most distinctive signature is the combination of soft, rounded terminals with crisp, high-contrast joins, producing a polished yet energetic texture in words and lines of text.
