A sharply slanted serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, largely unbracketed hairline serifs. The letterforms show a strong rightward italic flow, with sculpted bowls and tapered terminals that create bright internal counters and pronounced stroke endings. Uppercase proportions feel broad and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a conventional rhythm with a steady x-height, italic entry/exit strokes, and occasional flourish-like terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with wedgey joins and slender hairlines that emphasize the font’s engraved, editorial texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and mastheads where its contrast and slant can carry the layout. It also works well for fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a glamorous serif voice.
The overall tone is confident and high-drama, pairing luxury editorial polish with a slightly provocative, poster-like energy. Its glossy contrast and steep italic stance read as stylish and performative rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, editorial display serif with classic high-contrast roots, optimized for impact and sophistication. Its italic angle and razor-like hairlines suggest an intention to add motion and flair while preserving a traditional serif framework.
In text settings the dense black strokes create strong horizontal bands, while the hairlines and serifs add sparkle at larger sizes. The italic construction is emphatic, and the high contrast makes spacing and line breaks visually noticeable, especially in tightly set copy.
