A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Capitals are wide-shouldered with crisp, bracketed serifs and wedge-like terminals, while the curves show smooth, ink-trap-free joins and a lively diagonal stress. Lowercase forms lean strongly forward, combining compact bowls with long, tapering entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like terminals, creating a rhythmic, slightly theatrical texture. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic with energetic diagonals and curved tails that keep the set cohesive in running text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and section openers where an elegant italic can carry hierarchy on its own. It also fits branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif feel with added motion and flair, and it can be effective for posters or event materials where a dramatic italic headline is desired.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing traditional bookish authority with a fashion-forward, display-ready flair. Its sharp contrast and brisk italic movement suggest sophistication and momentum, making the voice feel confident, curated, and a little dramatic.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic serif that extends conventional text-serif manners into a more expressive, calligraphy-influenced voice. It prioritizes rhythm, contrast, and stylish terminals to deliver an elegant, attention-getting texture for prominent text.
In paragraph settings the slant and contrast create a strong rightward flow, and the more gestural lowercase details become more noticeable at larger sizes. The design reads best where its crisp serifs, tapered terminals, and dynamic stress can be appreciated without crowding.
