A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Thick verticals and hairline joins create a sharp light–dark rhythm, while serifs are finely tapered and often feel slightly cupped or bracketed into the stems. Many glyphs show distinctive, teardrop-like terminals and subtle entry/exit flicks, giving the outlines a carved, kinetic quality. Proportions are on the broad side with generous set width and open counters, helping large text read clearly despite the delicate hairlines.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, and editorial typography where high contrast and italic movement can carry a sophisticated hierarchy. It also works well for brand marks, beauty/fashion packaging, and event posters that need a classic yet expressive serif. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable when used at larger text sizes with breathing room to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, balancing classical serif tradition with a stylish, fashion-forward attitude. The italic energy and conspicuous contrast push it toward a refined display voice that feels premium and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and an assertive italic stance, adding decorative terminals for a more distinctive, boutique character. It aims to provide an elegant display texture that feels both traditional and contemporary in high-impact settings.
The face shows a lively baseline rhythm and noticeable stroke flare in curves, especially in round letters and numerals where terminals become small swashes. In dense settings the hairlines and tight joins can visually sparkle, so it benefits from adequate size and spacing where its contrast and detailing can remain clean.
