A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant, combining broad, weighty main strokes with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that create a calligraphic, engraved feel. Counters are compact and the overall silhouette is energetic, with lively curves and crisp terminals; the figures follow the same italic rhythm, showing strong thick–thin modulation and elegant shaping.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, branding, and upscale packaging where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes or short introductions, especially when printed well or rendered at larger sizes.
The tone is polished and theatrical, leaning toward fashion-oriented sophistication rather than quiet neutrality. Its sweeping italic motion and razor-thin details give it a luxurious, attention-grabbing presence with a classic, high-end editorial flavor.
Likely designed to deliver an elevated, editorial italic voice: dramatic contrast, refined serifs, and a confident slant that signals elegance and prestige while remaining rooted in conventional serif letterforms.
The italic construction is assertive enough to read as a display style, and the extreme contrast means the thinnest strokes and serifs can visually recede at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. Spacing appears designed for strong word-shapes in headlines, with distinctive forms that add character in short runs.
