A slanted serif with sharply modulated stroke weight and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs read as tapered, wedge-like terminals with gentle bracketing, giving the forms a carved, sculptural feel rather than a mechanical finish. The texture is lively and slightly irregular in rhythm, with broad curved strokes and crisp hairline connections that create strong sparkle in text. Numerals and capitals carry a display-forward stance, while the lowercase shows energetic joins and tapered endings that reinforce an engraved, calligraphic impression.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where contrast and slant can be used for emphasis. It can also work for short-form editorial copy or packaging text at comfortable sizes, especially when a classic, upscale tone is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and high-impact, combining classical formality with a sense of motion. It feels suited to dramatic, fashion-leaning typography where contrast and slant add sophistication and urgency. The style reads as traditional and refined, but with enough flair to feel headline-oriented rather than purely bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and an expressive italic stance, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. Its tapered serifs and calligraphic stroke behavior suggest a goal of blending classical credibility with contemporary editorial impact.
In running text the strong contrast and angled stress produce a distinctive rhythm and clear word shapes, but the delicate hairlines and sharp transitions make the color more sparkling than even. The italic posture is assertive, and the tapered terminals and curved swashes in several forms emphasize a crafted, editorial personality.
