This is a sculpted italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Stems carry sharp, tapered serifs and bracketed joins, while curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic sweep that creates lively rhythm across words. Proportions feel traditional with moderately tall capitals, compact lowercase bowls, and long, energetic diagonals in letters like v, w, x, and y. Figures are similarly slanted and stylized, with open counters and clean, high-contrast hairlines that emphasize a polished, print-oriented texture.
It performs best in display and short-to-medium text settings where its sharp contrast and italic movement can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book covers, luxury branding, posters, and editorial pull quotes. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with ample leading to preserve the fine hairlines and clarity of the word shapes.
The overall tone is formal and expressive, combining classical sophistication with a sense of motion. It reads as luxurious and editorial, suited to messaging that wants to feel premium, cultured, and a bit theatrical without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-style italic voice with strong contrast and crisp serif detailing, targeting sophisticated editorial and branding applications. Its letterforms prioritize elegance and momentum, creating a distinctive typographic color that stands out in titles and emphasized text.
The italic structure is assertive, with strong entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals that keep the texture crisp at display sizes. Round letters (o, e, c) show tight, controlled apertures, and the uppercase set carries a stately presence that pairs well with prominent italics in headlines and pull quotes.
