A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and calligraphic construction. Strokes alternate between thick, weighty stems and hairline connections, with crisp, wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that create a sharp, sculpted silhouette. The forms show a clear diagonal stress and a lively rhythm, with compact counters and slightly compressed joins that read assertive at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine, cutting curves for a cohesive set.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and other display typography where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It works well for magazine layouts, fashion and luxury branding, posters, and premium packaging where a refined yet dramatic serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, combining classical refinement with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and confident slant give it a sense of motion and sophistication, suited to premium and attention-grabbing typographic moments.
The design appears intended as an expressive italic serif that amplifies contrast and sharp detailing to deliver an upscale, editorial look. It prioritizes visual impact and rhythmic, calligraphic movement over neutral text economy.
In the sample text, the dense black shapes and thin interior strokes create a strong texture; spacing feels designed for headlines rather than long, small-size reading. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, stylized voice.
