A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition sharply from thick verticals and bowls to hairline terminals, with bracketed serifs that often taper into pointed, wedge-like ends. Curves are generous and slightly stretched, producing a wide, rolling rhythm in text; joins and shoulders feel carved rather than mechanical. The lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like terminals (notably on f, j, y, and z), while figures mix strong thick–thin contrast with curled terminals that echo the letters.
This style excels in headlines, magazine display, and brand marks where high contrast and italic momentum can be showcased. It also fits premium packaging and campaign posters, especially when set with ample tracking and generous leading to let the hairlines and terminals breathe.
The overall tone is theatrical and refined, balancing traditional bookish authority with a fashion-forward sense of movement. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping details read as luxurious, expressive, and slightly flamboyant—well suited to messaging that wants elegance with personality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional serif through a bold, calligraphy-informed italic voice, prioritizing drama, elegance, and visual movement for display-led typography.
In longer lines the strong diagonal stress and distinctive terminals create an energetic texture that stands out even at medium sizes. The caps feel formal and weighty, while the lowercase introduces more flourish, creating a pronounced hierarchy and a distinctly editorial cadence.
