This typeface is a sharply contrasted italic serif with a broad footprint and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical stems are heavy and sculpted, while hairlines and joins taper to fine, crisp points, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are small and mostly unbracketed, often resolving into pointed terminals; many lowercase forms (notably a, f, g, j, y, z) show swash-like hooks and ball terminals. The numerals and caps maintain the same dramatic contrast and slanted stance, with generous curves and clear, high-impact silhouettes.
Best used for display settings such as editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, brand marks, premium packaging, and campaign posters where contrast and movement are assets. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but its swashy details and high contrast are most effective when given space and size.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, balancing old-style sophistication with a confident, showy flair. It feels premium and expressive, suited to designs that want to signal refinement while still drawing attention through gesture and contrast.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif voice with an italic-first, calligraphic energy—combining sharp hairlines and sculpted stems with decorative terminals to create a distinctive, upscale display texture.
In text, the strong diagonal movement and tight, glossy joins produce a continuous, flowing texture. The italics are integral rather than incidental: entry and exit strokes, hooked terminals, and rounded dots reinforce a handwritten influence even at larger, display-oriented sizes.
