A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a brisk, calligraphic construction. Stems are weighty and taper into pointed, wedge-like terminals, giving many joins and endings a subtly flared, blade-cut finish rather than blunt serifs. Curves are smooth and full, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm feels lively, with energetic diagonals and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals and capitals carry a strong vertical presence, while lowercase forms maintain a readable, steady x-height and a consistent forward motion.
Best suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, title treatments, and brand marks where contrast and motion can read clearly. It can also work for short passages in premium editorial layouts, especially when paired with a restrained sans or low-contrast serif for supporting text.
The tone is formal and polished, with a fashion-forward, editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant add drama and confidence, evoking luxury, classic publishing, and high-end branding rather than utilitarian text settings.
Likely designed to deliver a high-contrast, calligraphic serif voice that feels both classical and contemporary, using flared terminals and a strong italic slant to create distinctive, upscale display typography.
The design relies on crisp stroke endings and tapered serifs to create contrast and sparkle at display sizes. The italic angle is assertive, producing a quick, fluid texture; spacing appears balanced for headline use while still supporting extended phrases with a consistent cadence.
