This typeface is a sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are wedge-like and often softly bracketed into stems, with tapered terminals and sheared horizontals that reinforce the italic rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feeling, while the lowercase shows lively, calligraphic movement with teardrop-like joins, compact counters, and energetic entry/exit strokes. Figures follow the same sculpted contrast, producing an assertive, high-impact texture in setting.
Well suited to editorial display applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book or film titling where contrast and slant can be showcased. It can also support high-end branding and packaging, especially when set at larger sizes where the sharp modulation and serif detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and emphatic, combining classic bookish manners with a theatrical, headline-ready flair. Its strong diagonal momentum and gleaming contrast convey sophistication, ceremony, and a sense of curated tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif italic with heightened drama: a display-leaning voice that preserves traditional proportions while amplifying contrast, taper, and stroke energy for standout emphasis.
In paragraph-like samples the dark strokes create a dense, high-contrast color with noticeable sparkle at edges and terminals. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving text a continuous forward motion and a distinctly formal voice.
