A high-contrast serif with a strongly slanted, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins smooth despite the dramatic contrast. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is lively, with several letters showing gentle swash-like terminals and curved entry/exit strokes that enhance flow. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, sculpted logic, with elegant curves and pointed finishing strokes that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where contrast and movement can be appreciated. It also works well for premium packaging, invitations, and short-form settings where a refined, expressive serif voice is desired.
The tone is polished and theatrical, blending classic serif tradition with a fashion-forward, headline energy. Its sharp serifs and sweeping italic movement suggest luxury and confidence, making text feel curated and elevated rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic serif for high-impact reading, combining traditional serif cues with a more fashion/editorial flair. Its emphasis on contrast, sharp finishing, and flowing terminals suggests a focus on elegance and visual drama in larger sizes.
Capitals show a formal, engraved sensibility—particularly in the pointed terminals and the crisp inner turns—while lowercase forms lean more fluid and expressive. The dense ink traps are not evident; instead, the design relies on clean, razor-like details and strong diagonal stress, which gives lines of text a dynamic, forward motion.
