A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, carved feel. The letterforms show crisp, tapering terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs that often resolve into pointed tips, creating a lively, high-tension texture across words. Counters are relatively compact and the joins and curves are sculpted, with a rhythmic, slightly springy baseline impression from the italic construction. Numerals and capitals share the same emphatic contrast and tapered finishing, giving the set a cohesive, display-leaning color.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, pull quotes, and branded statements where a luxurious, high-contrast italic can lead the layout. It also works well for formal invitations and short, prominent lines of text, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body copy.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, evoking luxury editorial typography and classic print sophistication. Its sharp finishing and energetic slant add a sense of motion and confidence, reading as stylish, assertive, and slightly dramatic rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and an italic, calligraphic edge—aiming for a premium, editorial look that stands out in display settings while retaining recognizable, conventional serif structures.
The design relies on crisp edges and thin hairlines for its character, so its personality is most apparent when there is enough resolution and size to preserve the delicate strokes. The italic angle and pointed terminals create strong directional flow in longer phrases, producing a distinctive, fashion-forward word shape.
