A high-contrast serif with a strong rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Thick, sculpted main strokes pair with hairline joins and sharp, tapered terminals; serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, giving the letterforms a carved, angular finish. The proportions feel generous and open, with lively rhythm from the italic construction, pronounced entry/exit strokes, and subtly variable widths across glyphs. Overall texture is bold and glossy, with crisp edges and clear differentiation between verticals, diagonals, and curves.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and sharp terminals can remain crisp: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short editorial bursts like pull quotes or deck copy, where its bold contrast and italic rhythm add emphasis without needing extensive body text.
The tone is elegant and assertive—more runway and magazine than quiet book text. Its dramatic contrast and energetic italic movement communicate sophistication, confidence, and a slightly theatrical flair, while the classical serif detailing keeps it rooted in tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a traditional italic serif: dramatic contrast, clear calligraphic cues, and assertive presence for attention-grabbing typography. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and refined detailing to create a premium, editorial voice.
In the sample text the strong slant and tight hairlines create a dynamic, forward motion, especially in sequences with repeated arches and diagonals. The numerals match the same high-contrast, italicized logic, reading as display figures with sharp wedges and tapered joins that reinforce the overall sharp, refined character.
