This typeface is a sharp, italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic, slightly swept construction: curves narrow into hairline joins while verticals and main diagonals carry substantial weight. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is energetic, with subtly varying letter widths and a forward-leaning, high-tension texture. Terminals often finish in pointed or teardrop-like shapes, giving letters a crisp, stylized edge in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best used at larger sizes where the contrast, tapering, and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its expressive rhythm is less optimized for dense, small-size reading.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining classical serif cues with a fashion/editorial attitude. Its high-drama contrast and emphatic italic movement feel confident and display-oriented, suited to statements that should read as upscale and expressive rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and a spirited italic flow, creating an elegant but attention-grabbing voice for display typography. The stylized terminals and strong modulation suggest a focus on visual impact and sophistication in editorial and branding contexts.
The uppercase set appears formal and sculpted, while the lowercase is more dynamic, with lively entry/exit strokes and distinctive terminals that add personality. Numerals follow the same italic, contrast-heavy logic and read as suited to headlines and short numeric callouts.
