A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, calligraphy-driven forms. Thick verticals and tapered hairlines create sharp light–dark rhythm, while many terminals finish in pointed, wedge-like shapes rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are generally bracketed and energetic, with occasional flared strokes and sweeping entry/exit strokes that give letters a lively, forward motion. Proportions feel generously set with ample internal counters, and the italics show expressive curves and distinctive, slightly swashy terminals in both text and numerals.
Best suited to display-driven settings such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture branding, posters, and premium packaging where the contrast and italic energy can be featured at larger sizes. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but the sharp hairlines and animated forms suggest avoiding overly small sizes or dense, low-contrast reproduction.
The overall tone is elegant and emphatic—more runway/editorial than quiet bookish. Its sharp contrast and spirited italic gestures add a sense of luxury, drama, and pace, while the underlying serif structure keeps it anchored in traditional typographic cues.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with a more calligraphic, high-fashion italic voice—delivering a classic foundation while amplifying drama through contrast, pointed terminals, and lively cursive modulation.
In text, the strong stroke contrast and pointed terminals create a sparkling texture that reads best when given room to breathe. Several characters show notably calligraphic moments (especially in the italic lowercase and figures), which can become a defining signature in headings and short phrases.
