A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and sculpted, flaring stroke endings that expand into sharp, bracketed terminals. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, crisp wedge-like serifs, and a lively, calligraphic rhythm that produces noticeable texture in words. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with pointed apexes and deep curves, while the lowercase keeps a steady, moderate x-height with compact bowls and brisk, angled joins. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text settings such as magazine headlines, decks, pull quotes, and high-end branding. It can also work for refined packaging and event materials where a classic serif voice with extra motion and contrast is desired.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, balancing classic sophistication with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals add momentum and a sense of luxury, making text feel curated rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic italic serif—prioritizing sharp contrast, forward rhythm, and flared terminals to create a distinctive editorial presence for prominent typography.
In the samples, spacing and diagonals create a pronounced forward movement, and the strongest personality comes from the tapered joins and flared terminals on strokes and serifs. The contrast and angled forms are especially prominent at larger sizes, where the sharp details read as intentional styling.
