A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into wedge-like points, while joins show a calligraphic logic with angled stress. The capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in presence, with strong verticals and precise, chiseled finishing, while the lowercase is more animated, with compact bowls, angled entry strokes, and occasional swooping terminals. Numerals match the high-contrast rhythm and italic momentum, reading as elegant and display-leaning rather than purely utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where a high-contrast italic can carry tone and hierarchy. It also works well for branding elements such as logotypes, packaging titles, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a classic, high-fashion serif voice.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, projecting a traditional, editorial voice with a touch of fashion-oriented sophistication. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing add urgency and flair, making it feel premium and assertive rather than quiet or purely bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and an expressive italic posture, balancing formal authority with a distinctly stylish, display-forward energy.
Spacing and letterfit in the sample text appear deliberately tight for a cohesive, headline-like texture, with strong word-shape cues and a consistent diagonal flow. The contrast and pointed details are visually striking at larger sizes, where the hairlines and tapered serifs can be appreciated.
