A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, calligraphic joins. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into fine points, giving terminals a crisp, blade-like finish. Counters are compact and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable slant and energetic entry/exit strokes; the lowercase shows a distinctly cursive construction in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals and capitals follow the same contrasty, sculpted logic, producing a strong vertical presence even in italic setting.
Well-suited to editorial display work such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and motion are assets. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, combining classical bookishness with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrast and italic momentum feel expressive and emphatic, suggesting elegance with a slightly theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast and italic expressiveness, offering a polished, attention-grabbing texture for display-led typography while retaining traditional letterform cues.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals read as a defining feature, while in dense settings the tight inner whites and strong contrast can make texture appear dark and punchy. The sample shows clear emphasis in headline-style lines, with distinctive shapes in the italic capitals and a lively, slightly swashy lowercase.
