A sharp, calligraphy-driven serif italic with pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes shift dramatically from hairline connections to weighty stems, with flared, wedge-like serif behavior that feels carved rather than slabbed. Curves are taut and slightly teardrop-shaped in bowls and joins, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. The overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel across widths that keeps the texture lively in setting.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and motion can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and packaging that needs a premium, fashion-forward voice, especially at medium to large sizes where hairlines won’t be overtaxed.
The tone is elegant and high-drama, combining luxury editorial polish with a classical, slightly theatrical flair. It reads as confident and premium, with a fashion-and-culture sensibility rather than a neutral bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious italic voice with a distinctly calligraphic bite—pairing crisp hairlines and flared endings to create a dramatic, high-end texture for display and editorial use.
Uppercase forms project a strong display presence with crisp apexes and thin hairline cross-strokes, while lowercase introduces more movement through rounded entries and occasional swash-like finishing strokes (notably in letters with descenders). Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, giving them a stylish, headline-ready presence.
