A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, crisp hairlines, and dense, weighty joins. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, giving terminals a chiseled, directional finish that reinforces the forward slant. Proportions show noticeable optical variation across letters and figures, with compact counters and a rhythmic alternation of thick stems and fine connecting strokes that reads especially energetic in larger settings.
Best suited to headlines, magazine cover lines, pull quotes, and other editorial display uses where contrast and motion are an asset. It can also work for branding, packaging, and event materials that want a refined, high-impact italic voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive—polished like luxury editorial typography, with a dramatic, slightly theatrical flair. Its strong contrast and italic momentum convey sophistication and urgency, making it feel expressive rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a distinctly expressive italic: strong contrast, brisk slant, and sharp terminals that create a bold editorial texture. It aims to balance classical serif cues with modern, attention-grabbing energy for prominent typographic moments.
Uppercase forms feel stately and sculpted, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement (notably in curved letters and the ear/terminal treatments). Numerals are equally slanted and contrasty, matching the text color and maintaining a consistent, high-fashion rhythm across mixed content.
