A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like bracketed serifs. Strokes taper to fine hairlines, with pointed terminals and compact joins that create a taut, glossy texture in text. Capitals feel wide and sculpted, while lowercase forms show a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm; counters are relatively tight and the overall color reads dense and emphatic. Numerals follow the same angled stress and sharp detailing, with strong diagonals and tapered ends.
Works best for display-driven typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand wordmarks where the sharp contrast can read clearly. It can also support short editorial subheads or deck text when generous size and spacing are available, lending a polished, high-end character.
The overall tone is elevated and editorial, combining traditional bookish forms with a more theatrical, fashion-forward sheen. The sharp contrast and energetic slant give it a sense of urgency and sophistication, suited to designs that want to feel premium and confident rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and an italicized, calligraphic energy for maximum impact. The intention appears to be creating a refined yet attention-grabbing voice that feels at home in contemporary editorial and brand-led layouts.
The texture in paragraphs is distinctly rhythmic: heavy main strokes punctuated by fine hairlines that add sparkle, especially around curves and diagonals. At larger sizes the pointed serifs and tapered terminals become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the dense color can dominate.
