A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. The serifs are pointed and flared, reading as wedge-like terminals that widen into the stroke rather than flat slabs, and many joins show soft bracketing that gives the forms a carved, transitional feel. The italic is strongly sheared with lively entry/exit strokes and a slightly calligraphic rhythm; counters are compact and the overall texture is dense and dark. Capitals appear robust and formal, while lowercase shows energetic modulation, with a single-storey italic a and g and a long, sweeping f that reinforces the flowing slant.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, magazine covers, and brand marks where its contrast and italic energy can shine. It can also work for short-form editorial text when size and leading are generous, but it is most compelling in prominent, high-impact typography.
The font conveys an elegant, assertive tone—stylish and dramatic without becoming decorative. Its contrast and sharp terminals feel refined and premium, with an editorial polish suited to sophisticated messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward italic built on classic serif principles—leveraging strong contrast, flared terminals, and calligraphic motion to produce a distinctive, premium voice for editorial and branding use.
In text, the heavy strokes and steep italic angle create a commanding, high-ink presence, so spacing and line length matter: it reads best when given room to breathe. The numeral set appears similarly contrasty and italicized, matching the overall cadence of the alphabet.
