A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline connections. Serifs read as fine, wedge-like and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals that heighten the calligraphic feel. Capitals are relatively narrow with assertive, sculpted diagonals, while lowercase forms show lively entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like curvature (notably in letters such as g, j, y). Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main stems with delicate hairlines for a refined, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium settings where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and book or magazine covers, especially where a classic serif voice with added drama is desired.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining old-style elegance with a fashion-forward, editorial bite. Its steep slant and razor-thin hairlines create a sense of motion and sophistication that feels suited to high-end, literary, or classic branding contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation infused with a more fashion/editorial italic energy, emphasizing contrast, sharpness, and elegant motion for impactful typography.
In text, the strong contrast and tight internal hairlines produce a sparkling rhythm that benefits from generous size and comfortable leading. Descenders are expressive and can become a defining visual feature, giving the lowercase a slightly flamboyant, signature-like character.
