This serif has a strong, slanted calligraphic construction with very sharp thick–thin modulation and a lively, slightly compressed rhythm. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with gentle bracketing, and many joins taper into pointed terminals. Curves show pronounced swelling and tight hairlines, while several lowercase forms use ball terminals and teardrop-like finishing strokes. The numerals and capitals feel sculpted and display-oriented, with high internal contrast and a consistent forward-leaning stress that keeps lines of text energetic.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, pull quotes, and branded typography where contrast and movement are desirable. It can work for short bursts of text—such as subheads, captions, or lead-ins—when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing, but it is most convincing in larger sizes where the hairlines and terminals can breathe.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, balancing classical bookish cues with a more fashion-forward, expressive italic voice. It reads as upscale and confident, with a hint of flamboyance from the tapered terminals and rounded terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif with an italic-driven, calligraphic personality—classic in structure yet tuned for contemporary editorial and branding contexts that benefit from strong contrast and expressive detail.
The design shows noticeable width variation across letters and strong stroke drama, which increases sparkle at larger sizes but can make dense passages feel busy. The italic angle and sharp serifs give it a distinct presence that stands out quickly in headings or short text runs.
