A sculpted italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and strongly modulated strokes. Letterforms show pronounced diagonal stress and a calligraphic rhythm, with narrow joins opening into fuller bowls and wedges at stroke endings. Serifs are pointed and flared rather than blocky, and many characters feature crisp beak-like entry strokes and thin hairline connections. The lowercase maintains a relatively tall, prominent mid-zone with compact counters, while capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in stance, producing a tight, high-drama texture in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and brand identities where contrast and italic movement can carry the composition. It also fits premium packaging, invitations, and short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section openers, where its sharp detailing remains legible at larger sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and high-impact, balancing classic bookish cues with a more fashion-forward, display-driven intensity. Its sharp terminals and emphatic thick–thin transitions convey sophistication, ceremony, and a hint of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic voice with strong calligraphic energy and sculptural serif endings—optimized for expressive display typography that still feels rooted in traditional serif construction.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show finely cut inner curves and tapered endings, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read crisp and chiseled. Numerals echo the same calligraphic contrast, with distinctive curved terminals that help them stand out in headlines and pull quotes.
