A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes alternate between hairline-thin joins and heavy, sculpted main strokes, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into wedge-like shapes, with teardrop/ball-like finishing on some lowercase forms and numerals. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins and diagonals are sharply cut, giving the letterforms a carved, energetic silhouette that reads as display-oriented rather than purely text-driven.
Best suited to headlines, editorial typography, and branding where dramatic contrast and italic energy can be a focal point. It works well for fashion and culture magazines, luxury packaging, book jackets, and event posters, and can also serve for short emphatic text such as pull quotes, titles, and display numerals.
The tone is theatrical and elegant, combining classic serif formality with a flamboyant, italic swagger. It suggests fashion, prestige, and a slightly baroque expressiveness—confident and attention-seeking without feeling decorative in a script sense.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic high-contrast italic serif for striking display use, emphasizing sharp refinement, flowing movement, and a premium feel. Its forms balance traditional serif structure with conspicuous, stylized terminals to deliver impact and character at a glance.
The italic construction is strong enough to become part of the identity, with notably dynamic diagonals and a forward-leaning baseline rhythm in running text. The numerals share the same contrast and flair, with curving, stylized shapes that feel suited to headlines and pull quotes. Spacing appears intentionally open for a bold, airy texture at larger sizes, while fine hairlines imply best performance where reproduction is clean.
