A sharply modeled italic serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic axis with braced serifs and tapered joins that create a dynamic rhythm across words. Counters are relatively compact in the lowercase, while capitals feel sculpted and formal, with strong vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled construction, reading cleanly at display sizes.
This face is best used where contrast and italic energy can be appreciated—headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography. It also suits premium branding and packaging that benefit from a polished, high-end serif presence, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward slant. Its strong contrast and energetic italic movement give it a confident, refined voice suited to premium and expressive typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, high-contrast italic serif for display-led typography, pairing classical serif construction with a more theatrical, modern editorial impact.
In text, the heavy strokes and tight interior spaces create dense, inky lines, while the angled stress and sharp terminals maintain clarity and sparkle in larger settings. The slant is consistent and deliberate, producing a cohesive forward motion without feeling overly cursive.
