A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The forms are compact and vertically oriented, with tight internal counters and sharp joins that create a chiseled, sculptural rhythm. Serifs read as pointed and energetic rather than blocky, and many strokes end in tapered, knife-edge cuts that emphasize motion. Numerals and capitals share the same assertive contrast and angular finishing, giving the set a cohesive, high-impact texture in both display lines and short phrases.
Best suited for headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and brand marks where strong contrast and an italic stance can carry the composition. It also fits premium packaging and campaign graphics, especially when paired with a quieter companion face for body text and supporting information.
The overall tone is dramatic and high-style, evoking couture editorial typography and classic luxury cues with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp contrast and italic momentum feel confident, attention-seeking, and headline-forward, suggesting prestige and spectacle more than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif look with an italic, fashion-leaning attitude—prioritizing impact, elegance, and a distinctive sharpness over understated text utility.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and a lively baseline cadence, with distinctive angled cuts that can sparkle at larger sizes but may feel dense in long passages. The narrow proportions and tight counters concentrate color on the line, producing a dark, glossy appearance that benefits from generous tracking and leading when used in paragraphs.
