A sharply slanted serif with very pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic rhythm with pointed terminals, tight joins, and tapered strokes that create a polished, high-impact texture. Counters are relatively compact and the overall color reads dark and confident, while the italic construction keeps forms fluid and fast. Numerals echo the same contrast and pointed finishing, with curving spurs and elegant sweep in figures like 2, 3, and 7.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where contrast and movement can carry the composition. It will also suit fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine titling, and poster work that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif italic.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial flair. It suggests luxury, style coverage, and high-contrast print typography, projecting confidence and a sense of curated elegance rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with an energetic italic emphasis—combining traditional serif structure with a more dramatic, attention-seeking stroke economy for editorial display settings.
In running text the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create sparkle and snap, especially in combinations with many diagonals and round letters. The design’s expressive italic angles and sharp serifing make it feel suited to prominent sizes where the fine details can be appreciated.
