A slanted, high-contrast serif with strongly tapered strokes and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The serifs are sharp and generally bracketed, giving the forms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel rather than a rigid, constructed one. Curves are full and dynamic (notably in C, G, S, and the round lowercase), while joins and cross-strokes stay narrow and precise, producing a vivid thick–thin rhythm. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact counters and energetic entry/exit strokes; numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic with sculpted curves and pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and other editorial display contexts where contrast and motion can be a feature rather than a distraction. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used with generous spacing and careful size selection to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, with a fashionable, editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and brisk slant read as confident and upscale, evoking classic print sophistication with a contemporary edge.
The design appears intended as a refined italic companion or standalone display serif that prioritizes elegance, energy, and typographic drama. Its sharp serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation suggest an aim to deliver a luxurious, attention-grabbing texture for modern editorial and brand applications.
In running text the strong diagonal stress and tight hairlines create a fast, lively texture, while the sharp terminals add sparkle at display sizes. The set feels optimized for impact, with particularly expressive forms in the swashy-like italic structures of letters such as k, v, w, and y.
