This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered stroke endings. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into hairline points that emphasize a calligraphic, pen-driven construction. Capitals are compact and dynamic, with strong diagonal stress in curved forms and crisp joins in letters like N and M. Lowercase shows lively, slightly variable proportions with narrow counters, a single-storey a and g, and a hooked f; numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized rhythm with sculpted bowls and tapered terminals.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and pull quotes where high contrast and slanted forms can add energy. It also fits premium packaging, formal invitations, and branding moments that benefit from an elegant, calligraphic serif voice. For longer passages, it will typically perform best at larger sizes or in short runs where its fine details remain clear.
The overall tone feels polished and expressive, combining classical bookish manners with a fashion-forward sense of drama. Its steep slant and crisp hairlines convey motion and sophistication, while the strong contrast lends a sense of luxury and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic serif with strong contrast and expressive, pen-like detailing—optimized to add emphasis and sophistication while maintaining recognizable, conventional serif letterforms.
In text, the tight internal spaces and hairline serifs create a sparkling texture that reads best when given adequate size and air. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, forward-leaning cadence well suited to display and emphasized passages.
