A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharply tapered, triangular/bracketed serifs. Strokes swing between hairline connections and heavy, sculpted stems, with a distinctly calligraphic stress that gives rounds a lively, angled rhythm. The capitals are broad and assertive with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows flowing entry/exit strokes, an energetic single-storey g, and compact joins that keep counters relatively tight at display sizes. Numerals follow the same glossy contrast model, mixing hefty main strokes with fine hairlines and sharp finials.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, luxury branding, and poster titles where its contrast and slant can carry the composition. It also works for short pull quotes or punchy subheads, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is glamorous and editorial, combining traditional serif authority with a dramatic, fashion-forward slant. Its sharp hairlines and punchy thick strokes create a sense of theatrical refinement—confident, upscale, and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast italics—prioritizing elegance, motion, and visual impact. Its sharp serifs and calligraphic stress aim to signal premium taste and editorial sophistication in display settings.
The design’s extreme stroke modulation and fine details suggest it will look most stable when given enough size and print-like conditions. Letterforms maintain consistent slanted momentum across lines, producing a dynamic texture that feels intentionally stylized and display-oriented.
