A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The forms lean with a consistent forward slant, showing calligraphic influence in the tapered joins and wedge-like entries, while maintaining sturdy, compact counters. Curves often terminate in teardrop/ball-like details (notably on several lowercase letters), and diagonals and arms end in crisp, pointed beaks that add snap to the rhythm. Numerals and capitals are assertive and tightly drawn, with smooth curves and strong vertical stress that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where strong contrast and italic energy add hierarchy and flavor. It can work for premium branding and packaging—especially in short phrases or logotype-style settings—where its sharp serif details and ball terminals read as intentional styling.
The overall tone is polished and confident, with a distinctly editorial drama. Its strong contrast and energetic italic give it a sense of luxury and tradition, suitable for sophisticated, attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on traditional italic serif display typography: combining classical, high-contrast construction with expressive terminals and crisp serif cuts to create a memorable, premium voice for prominent text.
In text, the heavy italic color and tight internal space create a dense, high-impact texture; the font’s personality comes through in the pointed serif treatments and rounded terminal accents. The italic angle and contrast make it especially noticeable in headlines and emphasized passages where the dynamic stroke movement can be appreciated.
