A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong rightward slant. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often with flared entry/exit strokes that give the forms a cut-by-pen feel rather than a purely mechanical construction. Capitals are broad and weighty, with tapered terminals and crisp apexes, while the lowercase shows lively, rounded bowls and compact counters that read as sturdy at display sizes. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved forms and pointed terminals that echo the letterforms’ wedge serifs.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and fashion editorial layouts, and cover typography where contrast and slant can be used as a focal point. It also works well for branding and packaging that wants a classic serif impression with extra flair, while longer text will benefit from generous size and spacing to accommodate the dense contrast and energetic italic rhythm.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, combining classic serif authority with a fashion-forward, high-impact italic energy. It feels refined and traditional at a glance, but the pronounced contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of theatricality and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with an expressive italic personality—using strong contrast, sharp wedge serifs, and calligraphic tapering to create a premium, attention-grabbing texture for display-led typography.
Stroke transitions are intentionally abrupt in places, creating crisp highlights and deep blacks that can form a strong texture in paragraphs. The italic angle and wedge terminals produce a flowing baseline rhythm, while the heavier verticals keep the voice confident and emphatic.
