This is a sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often resolve into pointed, calligraphic finishes, giving strokes a lively, pen-drawn feel despite the crisp, print-like edges. Proportions are compact with generous curves and strong diagonal stress; capitals read stately and sculpted while lowercase forms show energetic entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like tails. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with rounded forms (notably 2, 3, 8, 9) emphasizing elegant curvature and thin hairlines.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where its contrast and italic energy can read clearly. It also suits premium branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and campaign typography where a classic serif voice with added drama is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, blending traditional bookish credibility with a fashion-forward, display-minded flair. The strong contrast and italic motion create a sense of speed, sophistication, and headline drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with amplified contrast and italic calligraphic cues, optimizing for elegance and impact in display and editorial use while retaining a recognizable, traditional skeleton.
At text sizes the hairlines and tight inner counters can appear delicate, while at larger sizes the tapering terminals and angled rhythm become a defining visual feature. The design’s emphasis on sharp joins and pointed details gives it a crisp, assertive texture in lines of copy.
