A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a bold, inky presence. Strokes move from thick, rounded main stems to hairline connections, finishing in sharp, tapered serifs that often feel lightly bracketed. Curves are full and sculpted, with teardrop-like terminals and occasional flourish in joins and tails, giving the letters a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The overall texture is assertive and dark at display sizes, while counters remain open enough to keep forms recognizable.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where a bold, high-contrast italic voice is desirable. It works especially well in fashion, lifestyle, and cultural editorial contexts, and in posters or packaging that benefit from a luxurious, attention-grabbing serif.
The tone is dramatic and refined, pairing classic serif formality with a stylish, fashion-editorial flair. Its sharp highlights and slanted energy suggest confidence and spectacle, making text feel elevated and curated rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif attitude with amplified contrast and sculpted detailing for display impact. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and elegance over neutrality, aiming to make short phrases and titles feel premium and dynamic.
The numerals and capitals emphasize contrast and curvature, producing a strong silhouette that reads best when given space. In longer settings the heavy rhythm and pronounced slant can become visually dominant, so careful tracking and generous leading help maintain clarity.
