A high-contrast serif with a reverse-leaning italic posture and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes move from hairline-thin to sharply weighted verticals, with stems that subtly flare as they approach terminals and serifs. The curves are generous and rounded, while many joins and terminals finish in tapered, ink-trap-like points that create crisp sparkle at display sizes. Proportions vary noticeably across letters, producing an animated rhythm; counters are open and oval, and the overall texture alternates between airy hairlines and bold, sculpted strokes.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline details and flared terminals can remain crisp: magazine and editorial headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and premium brand identities. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set generously with comfortable leading, but the dramatic contrast and lively rhythm are most effective in larger sizes.
The tone is refined and theatrical, mixing classical bookish elegance with a slightly unconventional, fashion-editorial attitude. Its reverse slant and sharp hairline details add tension and sophistication, giving text a poised, expressive presence rather than a neutral one.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion interpretation of serif tradition—combining classic proportions and serif cues with calligraphic tapering, flared endings, and an unconventional reverse italic stance for added distinction in headlines and branding.
Uppercase forms read as stately and formal, while lowercase introduces more flourish in bowls and terminals, reinforcing the calligraphic flavor. Numerals share the same high-contrast, tapered finishing, with decorative curves that feel suited to titling rather than utilitarian UI contexts.
