A heavy italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharp contrast between thick stems and hairline joins. The letterforms are wide and energetic, with tapered strokes, sharp wedge-like serifs, and occasional ball/teardrop terminals that add a calligraphic flavor. Curves are generous and the italic slant is strong, producing a lively diagonal rhythm; counters remain fairly open despite the weight. Numerals echo the same sharp contrast and show a few decorative endings, reinforcing a display-driven texture.
Best suited for editorial headlines, posters, and prominent brand moments where a dramatic italic serif can carry the voice on its own. It can also work well on packaging and in campaign lockups, especially where high contrast and sweeping forms are meant to signal sophistication and impact rather than quiet readability.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, combining a traditional serif backbone with a punchy, fashion-forward italic stance. It feels confident and attention-seeking, with enough refinement in the hairlines and terminals to read as premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif: a high-contrast italic with expressive terminals and a strong diagonal flow, built to deliver elegance and urgency in short settings. It prioritizes visual drama and brand character over understated text neutrality.
The weight and contrast create a bold black-on-white texture that can fill space quickly; fine details in the hairlines and terminals become a key part of the personality at larger sizes. The italic construction and wide set give words a sweeping motion, especially in headline lines and short phrases.
