A steeply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, wedge-like serifs. The curves are taut and slightly compressed, with narrow apertures and a lively diagonal stress that shows strongly in rounded forms and the numerals. Terminals tend to finish in tapered points, and the lowercase uses compact, calligraphic shapes with a flowing rhythm and relatively tight inner spaces. Overall spacing reads firm and energetic, producing a dark, crisp texture in text despite the refined hairlines.
This style is well suited to editorial headlines and subheads, magazine covers, and other situations where contrast and slant can add motion and sophistication. It can also support branding and packaging that call for a classic-luxe impression, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and pointed terminals remain clear.
The tone is polished and theatrical, combining a classic bookish foundation with a fashion-forward, high-drama slant. It feels confident and expressive rather than quiet, with an upscale, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, display-oriented take on a traditional serif italic: emphasizing speed, contrast, and refined sharpness to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture in prominent typography.
Uppercase forms stay formal and sturdy while the lowercase leans more cursive in feel, creating a noticeable hierarchy and an assertive typographic voice. The numerals echo the same sharp transitions and angled stress, keeping display settings visually cohesive.
