This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced, forward-leaning axis and lively, calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition from hairline thins to strong main stems, with crisp, flared terminals and bracketed serif behavior that reads more tapered than blunt. The curves are taut and polished, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm alternates between narrow joins and sweeping bowls, giving the face a dynamic, sculpted texture. Figures follow the same sharp-thin-to-bold logic, with elegant curves and angled finishing strokes that keep the numerals consistent with the italic text color.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial or promotional typography where the high contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and premium branding applications that benefit from a refined, classical voice with added drama.
The tone is sophisticated and editorial, balancing classical bookish cues with a more dramatic, fashion-forward italic energy. Its sharp highlights and flared finishes add a sense of luxury and poise, while the slanted forms bring movement and a slightly theatrical emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic with a distinctly flared finish, combining classical serif structure with calligraphic energy for impactful, upscale typography.
The italic construction is assertive rather than gently oblique, with strong entry/exit strokes and pointed detail at terminals that can sparkle at display sizes. In longer settings it creates a dark–light shimmer typical of high-contrast italics, making spacing and line length important for an even texture.
