This serif shows steep contrast between hairline strokes and heavy stems, with a consistent rightward slant and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and wedge-like, often resolving into pointed, blade-like tips that give the contours a cut, chiselled feel. Curves are tight and glossy, with small apertures and strong stroke modulation that reads as calligraphy translated into a polished, display-ready form. Uppercase forms are broad and assertive, while the lowercase maintains a lively rhythm with compact counters and energetic joins; figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with clear, stylized shapes.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, brand wordmarks, posters, and striking pull quotes. It can work for short text passages when set large with ample leading, where the contrast and fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, combining classic serif refinement with a modern, fashion-forward bite. Its sharp terminals and slanted stance create a sense of speed and confidence, giving headlines an editorial, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif with strong headline authority, pairing classic proportions with sharpened terminals and a dynamic, calligraphic flow for modern editorial and branding use.
Diagonal stress is pronounced across round letters, and many characters feature distinctive pointed entry/exit strokes that intensify the sense of motion. In the text sample, the dense black strokes and narrow hairlines create a strong sparkle that rewards generous sizing and comfortable line spacing.
