A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharply tapering hairlines against heavy, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed, often resolving into beak-like terminals and wedgey joins, giving the forms a crisp, chiseled finish rather than a rounded, soft one. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and the rhythm shows subtle width variation across letters, with compact joins and energetic diagonals that emphasize motion. Numerals and lowercase include distinctive curls and hooked endings, and the dot forms (e.g., i/j) read as round, ink-like beads that reinforce the bold/hairline contrast.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and refined branding where contrast and drama are an asset. It can add a premium, high-fashion voice to packaging, invitations, and campaign graphics, especially when set large with generous spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, combining classic bookish manners with a fashion-forward, headline-driven intensity. Its sharp terminals and sweeping italic movement create a sense of speed and glamour, while the strong contrast keeps it feeling formal and high-stakes rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, display-oriented take on classic high-contrast serifs: bold color on the page paired with razor-thin detailing and an energetic italic stance. Its expressive terminals and sculpted silhouettes suggest a goal of creating memorable, upscale typography for attention-grabbing titles and identity work.
In longer lines, the combination of strong slant, tight interior details, and needle-thin hairlines makes it feel most at home at display sizes where the crisp terminals and stroke modulation can be appreciated. The italic construction is integral to the design, with many letters showing calligraphic gestures and subtle swash-like finishes rather than a simple oblique transformation.
