A strongly right-slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, knife-like serifs. The letterforms feel horizontally expansive, with broad capitals and wide, open counters that emphasize a sweeping rhythm across a line. Hairlines are extremely fine against heavy stems, producing a sharp, high-gloss texture, while terminals and joins remain clean and minimally bracketed. Curves (C, O, S, 8) are taut and controlled, and the numerals share the same energetic slant and contrast, reading more display than text.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other large-size applications where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can bring a premium, high-impact feel to branding and packaging, and works well for short emphatic lines where its wide, slanted rhythm becomes a feature rather than a constraint.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, with a fashion-forward, editorial voice. Its steep italic stance and sparkling hairlines give it a sense of speed and spectacle, while the classical serif foundation keeps it formal rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a bold, high-contrast italic voice that reads as refined and attention-grabbing. The wide set and crisp detailing suggest an intention toward display typography that conveys prestige, drama, and editorial sophistication.
The combination of wide proportions and extreme contrast creates a striking zebra-like pattern in longer lines, especially where thin cross-strokes and hairline diagonals appear. In some glyphs the finest strokes approach a threadlike weight, making the design feel intentionally delicate in its details despite the heavy main strokes.
