A slanted serif with strong stroke modulation and a compact, upright footprint. Strokes transition from thick verticals to hairline joins with pointed terminals, and the serifs read as tapered and lightly bracketed rather than blocky. Curves are tense and elliptical, giving round letters a slightly pinched, forward-driven rhythm. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with tall ascenders and energetic entry/exit strokes, while caps are clean and assertive with crisp diagonals and tight internal counters.
Best suited to editorial headlines, cover lines, and branded typography where a refined, energetic italic voice is desired. It can work for short pulls, captions, or accent typography in layouts, and performs especially well when given enough size and spacing to preserve its hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is confident and polished, mixing classic bookish cues with a fast, contemporary slant. High-contrast detailing and sharp terminals add a sense of drama and luxury, while the compact proportions keep it punchy and headline-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif italic with a classic foundation and pronounced calligraphic contrast. Its compact widths and tense curves suggest a focus on impact and elegance in display-led settings rather than neutral, extended reading.
Numerals and capitals appear sturdy and highly stylized, with narrow counters and pronounced thick–thin transitions that favor display sizes. In longer text, the pronounced slant and sharp hairlines create a lively texture that feels more expressive than purely text-oriented.
