A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. Thick verticals dominate while horizontals and connecting strokes taper to fine points, creating a crisp, glassy rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Serifs are minimal and often wedge-like or flared into the stems, with many terminals resolving as thin, angled cuts rather than blunt endings. Proportions feel traditionally bookish in the lowercase with a moderate x-height, while capitals carry broad, sculpted bowls and strong diagonals; figures mix compact curves with knife-edge joins that emphasize contrast.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, brand marks, and high-end packaging where its contrast and slanted energy can read clearly. It can work for short text passages at generous sizes and comfortable line spacing, especially in print-oriented layouts where hairlines are preserved.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, combining classical sophistication with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its steep contrast and italic motion give it a dramatic, expressive voice suited to high-impact typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic high-contrast italics, prioritizing elegance and motion with flared, sharpened endings for a distinctive editorial presence. Its letterforms aim to feel premium and expressive while remaining grounded in familiar serif proportions.
In text settings, the strong slant and hairline details create a lively, calligraphic sparkle, but the finest strokes and tight interior joins can become fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution output. The design’s visual tension comes from the interplay of heavy stems, narrowed joins, and consistently pointed terminals, which keeps words looking dynamic and slightly theatrical.
