This is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and an energetic, calligraphic stroke flow. Stems show strong thick–thin modulation, with tapered joins and subtly flared, bracketed serif endings that feel shaped by a broad-nib or pointed-pen influence rather than rigid geometry. Curves are generous and slightly elastic, giving round letters a lively, rolling rhythm, while diagonals and terminals finish sharply with crisp, angled cuts. Proportions are moderately compact with a normal x-height, and the overall texture alternates between dense thick strokes and hairline connections for a distinctly editorial color on the page.
It performs best in display and short-form text where the contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and journal titling, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant invitation or packaging typography. In longer passages, it works well for emphasis, introductions, or larger-size editorial settings where its fine hairlines remain clear.
The tone is polished and expressive—classic in its serif structure, but animated and stylish in its italic movement. It reads as cultured and slightly dramatic, with a luxurious, magazine-like presence that suits refined messaging without feeling overly formal or austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added sophistication through italic calligraphic movement and flared finishing, offering a distinctive, high-end texture for expressive typography.
Uppercase forms feel stately and sculpted, while lowercase letters lean more fluid and handwritten in spirit, creating a pleasing hierarchy. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with crisp hairlines and bold main strokes that keep them consistent in display settings.
