A right-leaning, high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a carved, pen-driven feel. Curves are smooth and taut, while joins and serifs resolve into sharp points rather than blunt brackets, producing a clean, incisive silhouette. Counters stay relatively open for a display-leaning italic, with compact lowercase shapes and lively entry/exit strokes; numerals follow the same slanted, calligraphic rhythm and show varied widths across figures.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and lifestyle branding, event posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short subheads or lead-in lines where an expressive italic serif is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, mixing classical refinement with a sense of speed and flourish. It reads as confident and stylish, suited to headlines that want a premium, slightly dramatic voice rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, pointed finishing strokes—prioritizing elegance and impact over understated body-text neutrality. Its forms suggest a contemporary take on calligraphic, engraved-style italics optimized for attention-grabbing settings.
In text samples the diagonal stress and pointed terminals create a strong shimmer on the line, with particularly energetic shapes in letters like Q, R, and y. The italic angle and contrast make it most effective when given room to breathe, as tight settings can amplify its sharp joins and busy texture.
