A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress, sharp hairlines, and weighty vertical stems that create a distinctly bright, sculpted texture. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed, blade-like terminals and occasional ball/teardrop endings that add a subtly calligraphic finish. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal counters, while the lowercase shows more movement and modulation, with lively joins and a right-leaning rhythm. Numerals match the text color with strong thick–thin shifts and curving entry/exit strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and premium branding where contrast and gesture are desirable. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where its sharp details and energetic slant can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classical refinement with a sense of motion and flair. Its contrast and slanted posture read as confident and upscale, with a distinctly editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in a more expressive, italic-forward form, using strong thick–thin contrast and refined terminals to create an upscale, attention-grabbing texture for display typography.
In text, the sharp hairlines and tight transitions emphasize crispness and sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving headlines a unified sweep and strong forward momentum.
