This typeface is a sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a calligraphic feel to the entry and exit strokes, while joins and curves are tightly controlled for a polished silhouette. The uppercase shows a refined, slightly condensed rhythm with strong vertical emphasis, and the lowercase features compact bowls, a single-storey a, and a lively italic construction that creates a forward, flowing texture. Numerals match the dramatic contrast and include angled, stylized forms that read well at display sizes.
It is well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and slant can carry a strong voice. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, high-fashion serif presence, particularly in larger sizes.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, balancing traditional book-seriff formality with the energy of an emphatic italic. It suggests editorial sophistication—confident, expressive, and fashion-forward—without feeling decorative or whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif voice with a distinctly italic, calligraphic cadence. Its combination of refined serifs, emphatic contrast, and energetic slant points to use in sophisticated display typography where personality and polish are equally important.
Counters are relatively tight in several letters, and the heavy strokes paired with hairline connections make spacing and size choice important; it performs best when given room to breathe. The angled stress and sharp terminals create a strong sense of motion, especially in long lines of text.
