A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, calligraphic joins. Serifs are mostly bracketed and slightly flared, with pointed terminals and occasional teardrop-like ends that give strokes a carved, inked feel. The lowercase shows a flowing rhythm with compact, rounded counters and lively entry/exit strokes, while capitals are narrow and disciplined with strong vertical stress. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing crisp hairlines with weighty stems for an assertive, editorial color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium runs where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can work well for editorial branding, book and magazine covers, and upscale packaging or invitations, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The tone is refined and theatrical: poised enough for classical, bookish settings yet energetic due to the strong italic slant and sharp terminals. It suggests tradition and authority, with a fashionable, dramatic edge that reads as premium and expressive.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable serif voice with heightened contrast and an expressive italic stance, delivering a refined but attention-grabbing texture for sophisticated display typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight in text, creating a dense, luxurious texture at display sizes. Distinctive details like the looped descender on Q, the swashed feel in g/j/y, and the crisp, triangular serifs enhance character without tipping into ornament-heavy script behavior.
