A very heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and razor-thin hairlines. Stems and joins feel sculpted, with subtly flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that taper into fine points rather than ending bluntly. The rhythm is lively and variable, with rounded counters and energetic diagonals; capitals are broad and emphatic while lowercase shows more calligraphic modulation, including a single-storey a and g and a long, expressive f. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, slanted construction, with ample curves and delicate entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, and other large-scale editorial typography where the high contrast and tapered detailing can shine. It also works well for branding and packaging that wants a classic, fashion-leaning voice, and for posters or titles where an expressive italic serif can carry the composition.
The overall tone is theatrical and refined, combining classic editorial sophistication with a slightly showy, vintage flair. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic motion create a sense of speed and confidence, making it feel expressive and premium rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a bold display italic that merges traditional serif structure with calligraphic movement and flared, tapered endings. Its shapes prioritize impact and elegance, aiming for a distinctive, premium feel in short texts rather than quiet body copy.
At display sizes the hairline details and tapered serifs read as crisp and luxurious; in tighter settings the strong slant and thin connecting strokes can make spacing feel more animated and irregular, contributing to its charismatic, headline-forward personality.
