A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, often finishing in pointed or swept ends that reinforce an energetic, calligraphic rhythm. Counters are relatively open, while joins and curves show a carved, slightly faceted feel that reads cleanly at display sizes. Uppercase forms have a dignified, bookish structure, and the lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence with compact, neatly placed dots and strong entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where contrast and slant can carry the layout. It works well for fashion and culture editorials, premium branding, packaging, and formal announcements where a sophisticated italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashionable, editorial flair. Its high-contrast strokes and italic momentum give it a dramatic, upscale presence that feels suited to refined, classic messaging rather than casual utility.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading structure with heightened elegance through strong contrast and a calligraphic italic skeleton. The goal seems to be a refined, attention-getting text/display hybrid that remains recognizable and orderly while adding a sense of movement and luxury.
Figures lean and follow the same stroke logic as the letters, creating a cohesive, typographic color across mixed settings. The ‘z’ shows a distinctive, swashy mid-stroke, and several letters feature lively terminals that add personality without pushing into novelty.
