A high-contrast serif italic with broad, sculpted forms and sharp transitions from thick stems to hairline joins. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with tapered terminals and a distinctly calligraphic stroke flow. The slant is steady and fairly pronounced, and many letters show lively entry/exit flicks that create a dynamic baseline rhythm. Counters are generous in rounds like O and Q, while joins and terminals stay crisp, giving the design a polished, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and sharp brackets can remain clear—editorial headlines, pull quotes, titling, and premium branding. It can also work for short passages in print-style layouts when generous size and spacing preserve the delicate details.
The overall tone is elegant and emphatic, pairing classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward sense of drama. Its sweeping italic movement and razor-thin details suggest confidence and refinement, making text feel more ceremonial than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more theatrical, calligraphic italic voice—combining traditional proportions with high-contrast glamour for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms read stately and wide, while the lowercase leans more fluid and expressive, with noticeable stroke modulation in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, keeping a consistent color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
