A sharply angled italic serif with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and hairline transitions. Stems and serifs show a flared, wedge-like behavior, giving terminals a carved, calligraphic finish rather than a flat slab. Curves are taut and slightly oval, with brisk entry/exit strokes and crisp joins; the overall rhythm is lively and forward-leaning. Uppercase forms feel tall and sculpted, while the lowercase combines compact counters with energetic ascenders and descenders that add movement in text.
Best used for display sizes where its contrast and flared terminals can shine—headlines, subheads, cover lines, and short passages in editorial layouts. It can also work for premium branding accents, invitations, and pull quotes, especially when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The face reads as elegant and assertive, with a distinctly editorial tone. Its high-contrast sparkle and brisk italic cadence suggest sophistication and drama—suited to content that wants to feel premium, cultured, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to translate classic italic, calligraphy-informed serif forms into a contemporary display tool, emphasizing sharp contrast, flared endings, and a confident forward motion. It prioritizes expressive word-shape and visual polish for titling and high-impact typographic moments.
The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, maintaining a strong diagonal flow in words. Numerals appear lining and similarly stylized, matching the contrast and terminal treatment for cohesive setting in headlines and pull quotes.
