A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced modulation between hairlines and thick strokes. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like, with subtly flared joins that create a chiseled, sculptural feel at stroke endings. Proportions lean toward a high-waisted, display-oriented silhouette: narrow internal counters, energetic diagonal stress, and compact lowercase forms that keep a steady rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same sharp, cut-in detailing, giving the set a cohesive, finely finished texture.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and cultural posters, premium branding, and packaging where sharp contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing to preserve the fine hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, combining classic editorial sophistication with a modern, fashion-forward edge. The sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of luxury and immediacy, while the italic movement keeps the voice lively and expressive rather than formal or static.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast italic with crisp, flared finishing—aimed at creating striking, upscale typography that feels both classic in structure and modern in cut.
In the sample text, the dense contrast and pointed details create a dark, confident typographic color at larger sizes, with hairlines that read as delicate highlights. Curves (C, G, O, Q) show tight, controlled bowls, and diagonal structures (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s brisk, forward-leaning momentum.
