A slanted, high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and sharply cut serifs. Strokes swell and taper with a distinctly calligraphic logic, creating pronounced thick–thin modulation and pointed joins, especially in diagonals and curved transitions. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is energetic, with varying letter widths and a forward-leaning, display-oriented color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where contrast and slant can be appreciated at larger sizes. It performs well for magazine and fashion contexts, poster titles, branding wordmarks, and premium packaging, where a sharp, editorial voice is desirable.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, pairing a couture/editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its lively slant and strong contrast add urgency and glamour, making text feel curated and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant serif voice with pronounced motion and contrast, prioritizing expressive texture and a distinctive silhouette. It aims to bridge classic serif familiarity with a more stylized, display-forward treatment for contemporary editorial and brand settings.
Uppercase forms read statuesque and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase shows more movement and asymmetry, reinforcing the calligraphic influence. Numerals follow the same carved, tapered behavior and present as stylized rather than strictly functional for dense data.
