A slanted serif with a strongly calligraphic skeleton and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into sharp terminals, and the serifs are small, pointed, and often wedge-like, creating crisp entry and exit points. Curves are high-tension and slightly condensed in places, while counters remain open enough to keep the forms readable at display sizes. Numerals and capitals show energetic, angled stress and a rhythmic, lively texture across lines.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short-to-medium display text where its contrast and slanted rhythm can shine. It’s a strong candidate for magazine layouts, fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and poster work that benefits from an elegant yet attention-grabbing serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, blending classic bookish refinement with a fashion-forward, editorial edge. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic movement convey sophistication and a sense of luxury, making it feel suited to premium, curated contexts rather than utilitarian everyday text.
Likely designed to deliver an editorial italic with a refined, high-fashion flavor—pairing traditional serif construction with sharper, more graphic terminals to create impact at larger sizes. The combination of crisp wedges, high-tension curves, and forward slant suggests an emphasis on dramatic typography for branding and display settings.
The design relies on sharp junctions and tapered details, which create strong sparkle and clear letter separation in headlines. The italic angle and high-contrast strokes give words a forward momentum, while the pointed serifs add a slightly incisive, contemporary bite to otherwise traditional proportions.
