A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Thick verticals and hairline horizontals create a sharp light–dark rhythm, with pointed terminals and tapered joins that suggest a calligraphic construction. Uppercase forms feel slightly condensed and upright in structure despite the slant, while lowercase shows more modulation and lively entry/exit strokes; the overall texture is glossy and emphatic, with tight counters and strong stroke endings. Numerals and punctuation share the same steep contrast and angled stress, keeping a consistent, polished color in text.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, cover lines, brand wordmarks, and promotional typography where its contrast and italic flair can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size.
The font conveys an editorial, high-fashion tone—confident, refined, and a bit theatrical. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic energy read as premium and traditional, with a persuasive, headline-forward presence.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast and an expressive italic, aiming for a luxurious editorial look that stands out in titles and prominent text while maintaining recognizable, classical letterforms.
Stroke contrast is extreme enough that thin parts can appear delicate at smaller sizes, while the heavy main strokes keep lines of text visually anchored. The italic drawing is assertive rather than subtle, giving words a forward motion and a distinctive silhouette.
