A high-contrast serif with a strong rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Stems are heavy and sculpted while hairlines taper to sharp points, with bracketed wedge-like serifs that often extend as short, elegant flicks. Many lowercase forms include soft, calligraphic curves and ball terminals, giving the alphabet a lively, slightly swashy rhythm; counters are relatively compact and the overall texture is dark and punchy. The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with stylized curves and tapered finishes that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and promotional materials, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font conveys an upscale, fashion-forward tone with a sense of drama and flourish. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics feel confident and performative, balancing classic serif tradition with a more expressive, headline-driven personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, attention-grabbing italic serif for prominent text. Its combination of sharp contrast, bracketed serifs, and swashy details suggests a focus on expressive elegance rather than neutral, long-form reading comfort.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into pointed beaks or small hooks, and several letters show asymmetrical shaping typical of calligraphic italics. The sample text suggests tight internal spacing and a bold typographic color, making it most comfortable when given room to breathe rather than set in dense blocks.
