A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, bracketed serifs. The letters show a calligraphic rhythm: broad, weighty main strokes paired with hairline connectors, with tapered terminals and frequent entry/exit flicks. Capitals are compact and assertive with wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved shoulders and occasional swash-like details (notably in forms such as g, y, z, and w). Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, with strong diagonals and elegant, tapered ends that keep the texture crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, editorial titling, and other display settings where contrast and italic energy can lead the composition. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a classic serif voice with added flourish, and for formal stationery where an elegant, calligraphic italic is desirable.
The overall tone is refined and high-drama—more fashion and magazine than utilitarian book text. Its energetic slant and flourish-prone lowercase add a theatrical, slightly vintage sophistication, suggesting formality with a touch of flair.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif foundation pushed toward a more expressive, calligraphy-informed italic, emphasizing contrast, sweeping diagonals, and decorative terminals for standout display typography.
Stroke contrast and slant create a vivid vertical rhythm, and the design leans on sharp joins and tapered curves to keep counters open despite the heavy main strokes. The face appears most confident when given room to breathe, where its hairlines and terminal flicks remain distinct and the italic motion reads clearly.
