A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and sculpted, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The lowercase shows fluid joins and italic construction cues, including single-storey shapes and energetic entry/exit strokes; several letters have slightly swashlike tails and beak terminals that add motion. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy stems with fine hairlines and curved, teardrop-like finishing strokes for a cohesive texture in text and display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine and book headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a refined italic voice is needed. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, packaging, and formal collateral such as invitations and certificates, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes where the contrast and detailing can shine.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, projecting a sense of tradition and authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its strong diagonal momentum and sparkling hairlines give it a ceremonial, editorial feel rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and expressive, calligraphy-informed terminals. The intent seems to balance traditional text-serif proportions with a more dramatic, display-ready presence for premium communication.
The design favors pointed joins, tight apertures, and pronounced terminals, producing a textured, expressive word shape. In longer lines the bright hairlines and steep italic angle create a dynamic, high-energy color that reads best with generous spacing and clean printing conditions.
