A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant, sharp hairlines, and sturdy vertical-to-diagonal stems. Serifs are bracketed and often taper to fine points, giving terminals a crisp, cut-pen feel. Capitals are wide and sculptural with sweeping entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms show lively modulation, angled stress, and occasional swash-like curves (notably in letters such as f, g, y, and z). Spacing reads open for an italic, with a flowing rhythm and clear differentiation across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine features, headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where the contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also serve formal materials like invitations or certificates, particularly at medium-to-large sizes that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and expressive, balancing classical bookish authority with a stylish, editorial flair. Its dramatic contrast and energetic cursive motion suggest sophistication and a touch of theatricality, suited to premium or ceremonial messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened drama: strong thick–thin modulation, elegant tapered finishing, and a fluent, calligraphic rhythm that elevates short-to-medium passages and prominent typographic moments.
The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction and include tapered terminals that harmonize with the text forms. The sample text shows strong word-shape cohesion at larger sizes, where the hairlines and tapered serifs remain clean and the slanted rhythm becomes a defining character.
