This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. The stroke modulation is pronounced, with hairline joins and thin finishing strokes paired against broad, swelling main stems, creating a crisp, sculpted texture. Letterforms lean with a smooth, consistent slope, and many shapes show a calligraphic influence in their entry/exit strokes and softly hooked endings. Proportions run on the wider side with open counters, and the overall rhythm reads clean and deliberate in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast and italic flair can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and refined branding applications, especially where a classic, high-contrast voice is desired over neutral text economy.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a fashion-adjacent elegance that feels at home in curated, high-end contexts. Its dramatic contrast and flowing italic movement lend it a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the traditional serif structure keeps it anchored and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened drama and refinement, emphasizing calligraphic movement and sharp finishing details for premium display and editorial use.
In text, the font produces a lively, shimmering line due to the strong thick–thin pattern and energetic italic details. The numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and slanted posture, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
