This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and strong vertical stress. Stems are dark and sturdy while connecting strokes and serifs fall to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, shimmering texture. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, and curves are tightly controlled, giving bowls and terminals a polished, engraved feel. Proportions lean broad, with generous set widths and open counters; the overall rhythm is lively and slightly variable from glyph to glyph, especially in the more calligraphic forms.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and refined branding. It can also work for short passages in larger sizes where the hairlines remain visible, especially in print-oriented layouts that benefit from a crisp, high-contrast italic voice.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a dramatic, fashion-forward contrast that reads as editorial and upscale. Its italic energy and occasional swashy touches add a sense of flourish and ceremony, suitable for content that wants to feel cultured, literary, or premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic companion for elegant typography, pairing classic serif construction with pronounced contrast and expressive terminals. It aims to provide a distinctive, premium voice for editorial and branding contexts where nuance and sparkle are desirable.
The uppercase shows confident, sculptural forms that hold together well at display sizes, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entry/exit strokes and distinctive italic terminals. Numerals match the contrast and slant, keeping the same sharp, high-end character across text and figures.
