A very heavy, high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and sculpted, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishes, creating a crisp, chiselled look. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and many joins are smoothly bracketed, giving forms a carved, continuous rhythm rather than a purely mechanical feel. The proportions read broad and display-oriented, with energetic curves in letters like S, a, g, and y and a lively, slightly calligraphic construction across the set.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, cover lines, and brand marks where high contrast and a strong italic gesture can carry the layout. It will also work for short pull quotes, titling, and promotional graphics where a dramatic, upscale serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, leaning toward upscale editorial and fashion aesthetics. Its combination of glossy contrast and assertive weight communicates confidence, drama, and a sense of ceremony, with a traditional underpinning that still feels punchy and contemporary in impact.
The design appears intended as a statement italic serif that amplifies contrast and weight for maximum presence. It prioritizes impactful silhouettes and a polished, editorial feel over understated text neutrality, aiming to deliver a luxurious, attention-grabbing typographic voice.
The italic angle and strong contrast create striking word shapes, but the dense color and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes. Numerals match the same high-contrast, tapered treatment, supporting use in headlines and prominent figures.
