A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, rounded main strokes. Serifs are crisp and pointed with a subtly calligraphic, pen-like logic, and many joins end in wedge-like terminals. The italic angle is pronounced, giving the forms a forward momentum; curves are smooth and full, while counters stay open enough for display use. Proportions feel classical but slightly energized, with lively stroke modulation and a flowing rhythm across words.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine spreads, and brand-driven typography where a dramatic italic can carry personality. It also fits invitations, luxury packaging, and short pull quotes where its sharp contrast and energetic slant can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing traditional bookish elegance with a more theatrical, fashion-oriented flair. Its sharp terminals and strong slant create a sense of motion and confidence, while the refined contrast keeps it feeling upscale and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic voice rooted in classic serif proportions, emphasizing motion, refinement, and standout display presence rather than dense continuous reading.
Uppercase shapes read as stately and sculptural, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic character, including brisk entry strokes and tapered endings that enliven texture. Numerals match the same high-contrast, italicized rhythm, supporting cohesive use in headlines and short informational lines.
