A high-contrast serif italic with broad proportions and sharp, tapered modulation. Stems and diagonals swell and pinch noticeably, with flared terminals and fine hairlines that create a crisp, engraved-like edge. Serifs feel bracketed and blade-like rather than blocky, and the italic construction leans with a steady, consistent angle. Counters are generous and round, while joins and beak terminals add a sculpted, slightly calligraphic rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other display settings where its high-contrast forms and italic momentum can be appreciated. It can add a premium, stylish voice to branding, packaging, and promotional graphics, and works well for short-to-medium text blocks in editorial layouts when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, balancing refinement with a confident, attention-grabbing presence. Its pronounced contrast and sweeping italic energy evoke fashion/editorial typography and classic display printing, giving text a sense of ceremony and flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-fashion italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared endings, prioritizing expressive silhouette and luxurious contrast over neutrality. It aims to create instant hierarchy and a distinctive typographic signature in display-led compositions.
The numerals follow the same sharp contrast and flare behavior, reading clearly at display sizes with distinctive curves and tapered entry/exit strokes. The texture in paragraphs is lively and varied, with strong thick-thin alternation that produces a bright, sparkling page color rather than a quiet, even gray.
