A slanted serif with sculpted, high-contrast strokes and strongly tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with sharp entry/exit points that create a crisp, cut-paper feel. Curves are full and rhythmic, while joins and cross-strokes stay thin, producing a lively pattern of thick-and-thin across words. Counters tend to be compact and the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic construction with pointed, teardrop-like details in places and an overall energetic forward motion.
Best suited to headlines, magazine settings, and branded statements where its contrast and italic energy can lead the page. It works well for fashion and lifestyle editorial, premium packaging, and event/poster typography where a dramatic, upscale serif voice is desired.
The tone is expressive and polished, blending classic serif authority with a fashion-forward, dramatic flair. Its punchy contrast and italic sweep give it a confident, theatrical voice that reads as premium and curated rather than plain or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and italic dynamism for attention-grabbing display use. Its tapered details and sculpted terminals suggest a focus on elegance and impact over neutrality.
In text, the strong contrast and tight internal spaces create a dense, dark color that benefits from generous sizing and breathing room. Numerals share the same chiselled, high-contrast language, reinforcing a refined, display-oriented personality.
