A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes transition quickly from hairline thins to dense, inky stems, creating a chiseled look and strong directional rhythm. Curves are taut and slightly pointed at joins and terminals, with narrow apertures and a compact internal counter structure that reads as carefully carved rather than soft. The figures and capitals echo the same razor-thin cross-strokes and bold verticals, producing an overall polished, display-leaning texture.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, and brand wordmarks where contrast and slant can read clearly. It can also work for elegant invitations or packaging when set with generous spacing and at sufficiently large sizes.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, pairing refinement with a sense of speed and flourish. It evokes fashion publishing and premium branding—confident, upscale, and intentionally attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of the classic italic serif: striking contrast, crisp detailing, and a confident editorial presence. Its forms prioritize glamour and impact while retaining conventional serif structure for familiar readability in larger settings.
In text, the dense black strokes and tight openings make the color feel rich and assertive, while the hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes. The italic angle and sharp terminals contribute to a lively cadence that favors headlines and short passages over extended small-size reading.
