This typeface is a sharply inclined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, calligraphic stress. Serifs are finely tapered and generally bracketed, with pointed terminals and occasional swash-like strokes that give letters a slightly flamboyant finish. Curves are smooth and polished, counters are relatively open, and the rhythm is lively due to the combination of strong contrast and a firm forward slant. Numerals and capitals feel display-minded, with sculpted joins and high-contrast diagonals that read best when given room.
It is well suited to magazine and editorial design, especially for headlines, standfirsts, and pull quotes where its contrast and slant can provide hierarchy and personality. It can also work for book covers and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice with extra flair, and for short passages where elegance matters more than utilitarian neutrality.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, balancing classic bookish tradition with a more theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its high-contrast sheen and italic energy suggest sophistication and motion, making it feel confident, curated, and a bit dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an italic-first, high-contrast sparkle—aiming for a premium, print-oriented feel that elevates titles and emphasis. The added swash-like details and sharp terminals suggest an intention to feel expressive and luxurious without abandoning familiar serif proportions.
Several glyphs show distinctive flourish behavior—such as a sweeping Q tail and italicized, calligraphy-led entry/exit strokes—creating a dynamic texture in running text. The texture becomes darker and more animated at larger sizes, where the sharp terminals and thin hairlines are most noticeable.
