A strongly slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms combine compact, weighty bowls with hairline connections, creating a lively rhythm and a distinctly calligraphic texture. Serifs read as tapered and often triangular, with sharp apexes on forms like A and V and a generally sculpted, high-fashion silhouette. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and headline-oriented, while the lowercase shows energetic entry/exit strokes and tight joins that emphasize contrast and motion.
This style is best suited to display settings where contrast and slant can provide impact—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or deck copy when generous size and spacing preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, balancing classical refinement with a confident, attention-grabbing presence. Its sharp terminals and steep slant suggest speed and sophistication, giving text a stylish, slightly theatrical flavor.
The design intention appears to be a conventional serif pushed toward a high-contrast italic expression, delivering a refined yet forceful voice for contemporary editorial and branding needs. It prioritizes striking silhouette, sharp detailing, and a rhythmic, calligraphic flow over understated neutrality.
Round characters such as O and Q appear tightly drawn with strong internal contrast, and the numerals share the same carved, high-contrast construction for a cohesive set. The italic angle and tapered serifs create pronounced directional flow, producing a dense, patterned color in lines of text.
