A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs read as pointed wedges with a slightly calligraphic, engraved flavor, and many joins resolve into crisp teardrop terminals. The italic slant is firm and consistent, with generous curves and a somewhat expansive set that gives capitals a broad, showy footprint. Lowercase forms maintain a steady x-height while ascenders and descenders add elegance through long, flowing strokes; figures follow the same contrast and slanted rhythm, with stylized curves and angled entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, cover lines, and brand marks where its contrast and italic energy can read cleanly at larger sizes. It can also serve in short, high-impact text like pull quotes, invitations, and premium product packaging where a refined, dramatic serif is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, evoking fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and high-end editorial typography. Its strong contrast and sharp detailing feel confident and dramatic, while the italic movement adds sophistication and a sense of forward motion.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic serif for expressive display typography, balancing classic serif proportions with sharper, more fashion-forward detailing. Its combination of wedge serifs, delicate hairlines, and confident slant suggests a goal of delivering luxury and editorial impact rather than neutral body-text utility.
The design leans on crisp internal counters and sharp apexes, with visible flare at stroke ends and occasional swash-like gestures in letters such as g, y, and Q. The heaviest strokes hold a dark, glossy presence, while hairlines are very delicate, emphasizing an engraved, premium look.
