This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic stress and flared, wedge-like terminals. Thick main strokes pair with hairline connecting strokes, producing crisp, sculpted letterforms that stay dark and assertive even as details get very fine. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than slabby, with frequent angled cuts and subtle bracketing that create a flowing, chiseled rhythm. The proportions feel generously set and slightly expanded, with energetic diagonals and strong entry/exit strokes that give the alphabet a continuous forward motion.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where its high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short, prominent text blocks or pull quotes when given ample size and clean reproduction.
The overall tone is dramatic and cultivated, blending a classic, bookish lineage with a more fashion-forward, headline-ready attitude. Its sharp terminals and swooping curves read as confident and expressive, with a hint of luxe theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact italic voice—combining traditional serif structure with flared, calligraphic finishing to create a striking, contemporary display presence.
Round letters show deep modulation and a pronounced diagonal stress, while the numerals share the same italic momentum and high-contrast modeling. The design favors crisp silhouettes and pointed details, which adds sophistication but also means fine strokes will become delicate at small sizes or on low-resolution surfaces.
