A high‑contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel, and the joins show a strong diagonal stress. Capitals are wide and assertive, while lowercase forms are compact and fluid, with teardrop/ball terminals appearing in several letters. The overall rhythm is lively and angled, with crisp hairlines, deep ink traps implied by tight counters, and a distinctly display-oriented texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where high contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also works well for branding, packaging, invitations, and luxury or cultural event materials that benefit from a classic yet energetic serif voice.
The font conveys a poised, high-fashion tone—dramatic and refined rather than casual. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics evoke editorial sophistication, with a hint of vintage luxury typical of magazine mastheads and premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, premium italic serif for display settings, combining traditional serif structure with calligraphic energy. Its wide capitals, sharp finishing strokes, and dramatic contrast suggest a focus on impact, elegance, and a distinctly editorial presence.
Several glyphs introduce expressive detailing (notably the swash-like descenders and the energetic shapes of letters such as g, y, and z), giving text a dynamic, slightly theatrical cadence. Numerals match the italic posture and contrast, with elegant curves and hairline entry/exit strokes that reinforce a polished, upscale impression.
