A slanted serif with sharply modulated strokes, pronounced thick–thin transitions, and flared, bracketed endings that give the forms a sculpted look. Curves are taut and elliptical, with pointed terminals and brisk entry/exit strokes that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly wide in rounds, while lowercase forms maintain a steady x-height with crisp joins and tapered feet. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized construction, reading cleanly with refined, serifed details.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and premium branding where a confident, high-style serif is needed. It can also work for short passages in sophisticated editorial layouts, particularly at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic bookish refinement with an energetic, fashion-forward slant. Its strong contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of luxury and intensity, making text feel deliberate and expressive rather than neutral.
The font appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif that emphasizes flair and refinement. Its flared endings and calligraphic rhythm suggest a design aimed at expressive display typography with a classic foundation.
The design’s diagonal stress and flared stroke endings produce a strong sense of motion across lines, especially in mixed-case settings. Spacing appears tuned for display and short runs, where the dramatic modulation and pointed details remain clear and intentional.
