A strongly modulated serif italic with crisp, wedge-like terminals and prominent bracketed serifs. The stroke contrast is pronounced, with hairline joins and thickened stems that create a punchy black-and-white rhythm, especially in round letters and diagonals. Forms are generously proportioned with open counters and a slightly expansive stance; the italic slant is steady and gives letters a flowing forward motion. Details show calligraphic influence—curved entry/exit strokes, occasional swash-like tails, and tapered cross-strokes—while maintaining an overall conventional text-serif skeleton.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial layouts, premium branding, packaging, and poster titles. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads where its contrast and italic energy can remain clear, but it is most effective when given room and size to show its fine details.
The font projects an editorial, high-style tone: confident, dramatic, and refined. Its sharp contrast and lively italic movement read as luxurious and expressive rather than quiet or utilitarian, bringing a sense of heritage and sophistication to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and an expressive italic that adds elegance and momentum. It aims to balance traditional letterform structure with showier, calligraphic finishing for impactful, upscale typography.
Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and formal, while the lowercase is more animated, with distinctive curls and tapered terminals that add personality in running words. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, with curving strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions that suit display settings.
