A sharply inclined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are narrow and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and many joins resolve into pointed, knife-edge details that emphasize directionality. Bowls and curves are smooth but tightly controlled, while diagonal strokes dominate the texture, creating a fast, forward rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted, high-contrast construction, reading best when given room to breathe in display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-impact titling where contrast and slant can add sophistication and motion. It can also work for branding and premium packaging when used at larger sizes, and for short editorial subheads where a stylish, assertive presence is desired.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a fashion and editorial sensibility. Its steep slant and razor-like detailing convey energy and confidence, while the classic serif structure keeps it formal and upscale.
Likely designed as a high-impact italic serif for display typography, balancing classical proportions with heightened contrast and sharp, contemporary finishing. The goal appears to be an elegant but attention-grabbing voice that performs strongly in editorial settings.
The italic forms feel integral rather than simply slanted, with stroke shapes that suggest a calligraphic ductus. Spacing and proportions look suited to headlines and short passages where the energetic diagonal stress can become part of the visual voice.
