A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are compact and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing that helps connect heavy stems to fine hairlines. The design leans on curving strokes and swelling joins, giving letters a sculpted, ink-driven feel; counters are generally open but can pinch where strokes tighten. Overall rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in a purposeful way, with punctuation and figures matching the same high-contrast, calligraphic treatment.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, decks, pull quotes, and brand marks where high contrast and italic motion are an asset. It can also work for short subheads and packaging copy at comfortable sizes, but the fine hairlines imply it will be most reliable when given enough size and print/screen clarity.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, with a confident, editorial voice. Its steep contrast and energetic italic stance suggest fashion, culture, and premium branding rather than quiet neutrality. It reads as classic but stylized—more expressive than bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a traditional italic serif: crisp, punchy, and visually luxurious. It prioritizes expressive stroke contrast and stylish silhouettes to create strong hierarchy and standout titles.
Uppercase forms show strong diagonal stress and crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase adds personality through curled terminals and pronounced joins (notably in letters like a, g, y, and s). Numerals carry the same dramatic contrast and angled posture, making them suitable for display settings where sparkle and impact are desired.
