This is a sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring stroke endings that read as calligraphic rather than purely mechanical. Capitals are relatively narrow with crisp, bracketed serifs and strong vertical stress, while round letters (C, G, O, Q) show tight, glossy curves with thin hairline connections. The lowercase is compact and slightly condensed, with a lively rhythm: narrow joins, pointed terminals, and a single-storey a and g that reinforce a handwritten, oldstyle flavor. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with very thin linking strokes and angled entry/exit terminals for a cohesive, energetic texture in text.
This face is well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where high contrast and a calligraphic slant can carry tone. It also works for branding, packaging, and poster titling that wants a classic, upscale voice with strong visual impact.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, pairing classic bookish authority with a fashionable, high-contrast swagger. It feels suited to expressive typography where elegance and motion are part of the message, rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional italic serif letterforms with a contemporary, high-contrast finish—combining flared stroke endings, crisp serifs, and compact proportions to deliver a dramatic yet polished reading texture.
At display sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals create a striking sparkle, while in denser settings the strong diagonals and narrow counters produce a dark, driving color. The italic slant is substantial and consistent, giving words a forward-leaning momentum.
