This is a sharply inclined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with a calligraphic flow that shows up in the sweeping diagonals and the sculpted joins. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with narrow interior counters in many letters and strong stroke contrast that emphasizes the verticals. Capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase adds more movement through curved entry strokes, looping descenders, and italic-specific forms such as a single-storey a and g.
Well-suited for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and italic motion are assets. It can also support luxury-leaning branding, packaging, and campaign typography, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is elegant and high-drama, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. It reads as classic and refined, but the assertive contrast and energetic slant give it a confident, attention-seeking presence suited to premium branding.
The likely intention is a conventional serif interpreted through a strong italic, calligraphic lens—prioritizing elegance, speed, and contrast for standout display typography while retaining recognizable, traditional letter structures.
The design leans on sharp points and thin hairlines, so it presents best when given enough size and breathing room. Numerals match the same calligraphic contrast and angled stress, maintaining a cohesive, stylized texture across mixed text.
