A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and distinctly tapered, flared stroke endings. Stems swell and pinch sharply into hairlines, producing crisp joins and pointed terminals, while many curves show a smooth, calligraphic modulation. The capitals are wide and sculpted with assertive diagonal energy, and the lowercase features compact, fast-moving forms with tight apertures and clean, blade-like serifs. Numerals and punctuation follow the same swelling-and-tapering logic, keeping the overall texture glossy and punchy at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic motion can read cleanly—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, posters, and pull quotes. It can work for short subheads and logo wordmarks, but will generally be most effective when given room and size to preserve its fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The tone is stylish and high-drama, reading as premium and editorial rather than neutral. Its sharp contrasts and sweeping italic rhythm suggest speed, sophistication, and a fashion-forward sensibility, with a hint of classic engraved elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, premium italic voice—combining classic serif structure with calligraphic flare and modern sharpness. It prioritizes striking word shapes and high-end visual impact over understated body-text neutrality.
The design’s strongest signatures are the wedge-like hairline entries, flared stroke endings, and the continuous italic slant that creates a lively, forward pull across words. In longer lines the texture stays dark and energetic, with distinctive silhouette changes from letter to letter that reward generous sizing and spacing.
