A slanted, display-oriented serif with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and hairline joins. The letters are broad and generously proportioned, with crisp, knife-like wedge serifs and tapered, calligraphic terminals that create a sharp rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, counters are relatively compact for the width, and the overall texture alternates between dense black strokes and fine, delicate connections. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized construction, with strong thick–thin transitions and sculpted curves.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks where its contrast and fine hairlines can stay crisp—such as magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and statement posters. It can also work for pull quotes or title treatments where a dramatic italic serif voice is desired.
The font projects a polished, runway-editorial tone: refined but assertive, with a dramatic, high-sheen presence. Its slanted posture and razor-thin details add energy and sophistication, suggesting premium branding and classic print elegance rather than casual everyday text.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic contrasted serif: wide, slanted letterforms with sharp wedge serifs and elegant hairlines for striking display typography. The emphasis is on visual drama, refinement, and brand-forward presence.
The design shows consistent vertical stress and a deliberate, stylized italic construction rather than a simple oblique. Several lowercase forms feature expressive terminals (including ball-like endings) that add personality, while the wide set width gives headlines a confident, expansive feel.
