This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation and angled stress, with sharp wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into pointed terminals. Counters are compact and sculpted, and the outlines feel tensioned and forward-leaning, giving the forms a dynamic, engraved look. Lowercase shows lively, slightly irregular italic construction with teardrop and beaked terminals, while capitals are broad, formal, and cleanly tapered.
It is well suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and poster typography where strong contrast and italic motion can carry the layout. It can also serve branding and packaging that wants a premium, classical voice with a sharp, contemporary edge.
The overall tone is dramatic and refined, with a fashion-editorial kind of elegance. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant add urgency and charisma, while the classic serif construction keeps it authoritative and upscale.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, elegant italic voice with a distinctly calligraphic, flared-serif finish—optimized for expressive display use rather than neutral text setting.
At display sizes the contrast and pointed details read crisp and expressive; in smaller settings those same hairlines and tight joins may require generous spacing and careful color management. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with stylized curves and pronounced entry/exit strokes that complement headline typography.
