A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and taper into the stems, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical texture. Uppercase forms feel broad and assertive with strong diagonals and angular joins, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence, including flowing shoulders and a single-storey, looping “g”. Numerals are similarly slanted and stylized, with sharp entry strokes and distinctive curves that match the letterforms’ energetic contrast.
It performs best where expressive contrast and italic momentum are assets: headlines, magazine features, book covers, and brand statements. It can also work for short, prominent text such as pull quotes and display-sized captions, where its sharp detailing and stylized forms remain clear.
The overall tone is editorial and classical, with a dramatic, cultivated voice suited to sophisticated communication. Its slanted, high-contrast construction adds momentum and flourish, reading as confident and slightly theatrical rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with a more calligraphic, display-forward italic voice, delivering a refined yet energetic texture for prominent text. Its consistent slant, tapered serifs, and expressive curves suggest a focus on elegant emphasis and strong typographic character.
The font’s texture alternates between sturdy verticals and fine hairlines, giving words a sparkling, high-contrast pattern in running text. Curved letters and diagonals (notably in forms like S, Q, and the lowercase r/s) show a pronounced, ink-influenced shaping that emphasizes motion and gesture.
