A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, chiseled feel. Strokes taper into pointed, wedge-like serifs and teardrop/ball terminals, creating crisp entry/exit angles and a lively, directional rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and sculpted with strong internal contrast, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence with flowing joins and occasional flamboyant details (notably in letters like a, g, and y). Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized construction, with angular cuts and a slightly display-oriented presence.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its high contrast and sculpted details remain clear. It can also work for short, prominent text in invitations, fashion/beauty collateral, and premium packaging, especially when ample spacing and size preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is luxurious and theatrical—more runway editorial than quiet book text. Its energetic slant and razor-edged contrast suggest sophistication with a hint of bravura, evoking couture branding, high-end packaging, and classic print elegance.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and italic momentum, prioritizing stylish impact and refined, calligraphic detailing over neutral text invisibility. Its forms aim to look engraved and fashion-forward, providing a distinctive signature for editorial and brand-led typography.
The design leans on sharp diagonals, narrow joins, and tapered curves that create bright whites and dramatic texture in words. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the glyphs show intentional, slightly idiosyncratic detailing that increases personality at larger sizes.
