A slanted serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show bracketing at the serifs, crisp wedge-like finishes, and a lively, calligraphic stroke logic that creates strong diagonal momentum. Capitals feel tall and sculpted with narrow internal counters, while the lowercase is compact and rhythmic, with distinctly shaped bowls and a single-storey a. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-modulation pattern, giving figures a graceful, slightly formal stance.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where contrast and slant can carry personality. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and campaign typography that benefits from a classic-yet-energetic serif voice. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, blending classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward, editorial energy. Its strong slant and dramatic contrast add a sense of motion and emphasis, reading as confident, upscale, and slightly theatrical without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a distinctly italic, calligraphic flavor—prioritizing expressive stroke contrast, sharp finishing, and a compact, energetic rhythm for attention-grabbing typography.
In the sample text, the design maintains a consistent rhythm across long lines, with clear word shapes and a lively baseline flow. The heaviest strokes create bold typographic color, while the thin hairlines and sharp serifs add sparkle at display sizes; at smaller sizes, the fine details may appear more delicate.
