A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp hairline finishing. Stems are heavy and sculpted, while joins and curves transition into very thin hairlines that create a sharp, glossy rhythm across words. Serifs are fine and often bracketed, with pointed wedge-like entries and occasional ball or teardrop terminals that add a calligraphic flavor. The lowercase shows compact, energetic forms with distinctly angled stress, and the overall set reads as a bold italic with tightly controlled counters and a slightly elastic width feel across characters.
This style is well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and bold brand applications where an elegant but assertive italic serif is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where the dramatic contrast and slant can be featured.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone—dramatic and polished rather than neutral. Its steep italic posture and strong thick–thin contrast give it a sense of speed, luxury, and confident emphasis, suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact italic serif for display use, combining classic serif construction with heightened contrast and calligraphic terminals to create a premium editorial voice.
In text lines, the strong slant and contrast create a lively texture with pronounced lettershape silhouettes; the effect is most striking at larger sizes where the hairlines and terminals remain visible. Numerals and capitals share the same sharp contrast and angled stress, supporting a cohesive, headline-oriented voice.
