A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes shift abruptly from thick verticals to hairline connections, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, with many forms ending in pointed or teardrop-like finials; several letters show subtle swash behavior and a slightly exaggerated baseline sweep. The overall texture is dense and dark in massed text, while internal counters stay open enough to keep letterforms distinct at display sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines, editorial titles, and short promotional copy where the contrast and italic momentum can be appreciated. It can also support boutique branding, event materials, and packaging accents, particularly when used at moderate-to-large sizes with comfortable spacing.
The font reads as dramatic and refined, blending traditional bookish authority with a flamboyant, performance-like flair. Its energetic italic motion and knife-edge contrast give it a sense of luxury and theatrical emphasis rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and expressive italic movement, prioritizing elegance and impact for display typography while maintaining conventional serif structure.
Capitals are notably sculpted and expressive, especially in curved letters where contrast and terminal shaping become a key feature. Numerals match the italic stress and exhibit strong thick–thin modulation, reinforcing a cohesive, display-forward character.
