A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often resolve into hairline points, giving strokes a cut, polished finish. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous interior counters, and curves transition quickly from heavy verticals to delicate hairlines, creating a lively, high-sparkle rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry strong, sculptural forms, while the lowercase shows fluid joins and italic calligraphic cues, including single-storey shapes and compact, angled apertures.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand-led typography where contrast and italic movement can be showcased. It can also work for short passages in editorial layouts when set with comfortable size and leading, especially where a luxe, classical voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and stylish, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward presence. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic motion feel premium and expressive rather than neutral, suggesting luxury, culture, and high-end publishing contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a high-contrast italic serif—combining classical proportions with crisp, modern finishing—optimized for expressive, premium typography in branding and editorial design.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joins read as intentionally sharp and refined, emphasizing a glossy, display-driven texture. Spacing appears open enough for headlines, while the strong diagonal stress and contrast make the texture energetic and attention-grabbing.
