A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, slightly flared stroke endings. The letterforms are compact and upright in proportion while maintaining an energetic italic rhythm, with long, clean entry/exit strokes and carefully bracketed serif transitions. Counters are relatively tight and the curves are crisp, giving the face a dark, controlled texture in text. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with strong diagonals and thin hairline terminals.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine decks, pull quotes, and book or album titling where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also serve premium branding and packaging, especially when you want a classical serif feel with extra motion and contrast.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a classic, high-style presence. Its contrast and italic sweep add drama and sophistication, suggesting fashion, culture, and premium editorial settings rather than utilitarian text.
Likely intended as a display-leaning italic serif that delivers a sophisticated, fashion-forward texture while preserving traditional serif cues. The combination of tight proportions, high contrast, and flared terminals appears designed to create impact and elegance in short to medium runs of text.
The design relies on fine hairlines and pointed terminals that reward generous sizes and solid reproduction. The narrow set and brisk slant create a forward-moving cadence, while the flared endings keep the texture from feeling mechanical.
