A slanted, high-contrast serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Thick vertical strokes pair with hairline connections and pointed terminals, while serifs are small, sharply bracketed, and often flare into wedge-like endings. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette despite the extreme contrast. The design shows noticeable width modulation across letters, with crisp joins, teardrop-like dots, and occasional swash-like hooks (notably in J, y, and some numerals) that emphasize movement and gesture.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and slant can carry the composition. It can work for short bursts of text like pull quotes or section openers when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing, but it is primarily a statement face rather than a long-form workhorse.
The overall tone is theatrical and editorial, combining old-style refinement with a confident, attention-grabbing presence. Its sharp contrast and lively italic angle feel luxurious and slightly flamboyant, lending a couture, magazine-forward character rather than a quiet bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, high-end italic voice with calligraphic flair—merging classical serif structure with sharper, more stylized terminals for contemporary editorial impact.
In text, the strong stroke contrast creates striking word shapes and a dark, polished color, but the fine hairlines and tight interior spaces suggest it will look best when given enough size, spacing, and print/display resolution. Numerals and certain lowercase forms feature expressive curves and hooked terminals that add personality and a sense of motion.
