A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant, combining heavy, sculpted stems with very thin hairlines. Serifs are sharp and tapered with subtle bracketing, and many joins resolve into pointed terminals that give the outlines a cut, chiseled feel. Uppercase forms are broad and display-oriented, while the lowercase shows compact, energetic shapes with single-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled stress and fine finishing strokes that stay crisp at display sizes.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium display copy where its contrast and angled rhythm can shine. It fits fashion and lifestyle magazine typography, premium branding systems, event posters, and packaging where a refined but assertive serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, balancing traditional serif elegance with a punchy, modern editorial attitude. Its sharp terminals and exaggerated contrast create a sense of luxury and urgency—suited to attention-grabbing headlines rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif authority with amplified contrast and an italic-driven sense of motion, optimized for high-impact editorial settings. It prioritizes personality, sparkle, and silhouette clarity over neutral, long-form readability.
Spacing appears intentionally open for a display italic, helping the dense black strokes breathe. The italic construction reads more like a formal calligraphic italic than a simple slanted roman, with distinct stroke modulation and expressive terminals that add motion across a line.
