A high-contrast italic serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharply tapered joins. Strokes swell and pinch in a calligraphic rhythm, producing pronounced thick–thin modulation and lively, angled stress in rounds like O/C and in the bowls of b/p. Capitals are broad and sculpted with crisp hairlines and assertive entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms show energetic curves, slightly asymmetric bowls, and pointed, blade-like serifs. Numerals match the exuberant modulation, with curving diagonals and prominent tapering that reads best at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and poster typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can add a premium, crafted feel to branding, packaging, and short display lines that benefit from a stylish, calligraphic serif voice.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, with a fashion-forward, editorial presence. Its italic movement and flared finishing give it a spirited, slightly theatrical voice—confident, expressive, and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, high-impact italic serif for display typography, combining classical wedge-serif cues with a distinctly flared, calligraphic modulation. The intent seems to prioritize expressive form and luxurious emphasis over neutral readability.
The design emphasizes dynamic silhouettes and sharp internal contrasts, so spacing and word shapes feel animated and slightly irregular in a deliberate, crafted way. Tight counters in some letters and the strong stroke contrast make it more impactful in headlines than in dense, small-size settings.
