A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, carved silhouette. Strokes show tapered, flared endings rather than blunt terminals, and the serifs read as sharp, wedge-like accents that enhance a chiseled rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in the heavier forms (notably in rounds like O and Q), while the joins stay clean and controlled, giving the face a sculpted, high-finish look. Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical presence, and the lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure with compact bowls and energetic diagonals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages like pull quotes or deck copy when ample size and spacing preserve the crisp forms and avoid overly dense color.
The overall tone is luxurious and assertive, balancing classical refinement with a fashion-forward edge. Its strong contrast and italic motion create a sense of speed and drama, making text feel curated, premium, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to evoke a contemporary take on high-contrast serif italics, emphasizing sculpted stems, flared terminals, and a refined, editorial presence. It prioritizes visual impact and sophistication in display typography while retaining a coherent text rhythm for brief emphasis-driven reading.
In continuous text the dark strokes form a confident texture, with sharp terminals and flaring details creating sparkle at larger sizes. The letterforms favor stylized elegance over neutrality, and the slanted construction gives headings a dynamic, editorial cadence.
