A slanted, display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, pointed terminals. Serifs are small and hairline-like, often wedge-shaped and minimally bracketed, creating a sharp, engraved feel against very dense vertical stems. Counters are relatively tight and rounds (C, O, Q, e, o) show strong stress and tapering, while curves often end in beak-like or finial-like points. The lowercase is compact with a traditional rhythm and a two-storey-style structure is not apparent in the sample; overall spacing feels intentionally punchy for headlines rather than airy text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and brand statements where contrast and silhouette can carry the design. It works well for fashion, cultural, and luxury-adjacent layouts, and for packaging or titling that benefits from a sharp, high-impact serif voice.
The tone is bold and theatrical, with a high-fashion editorial polish. The steep contrast and razor serifs project sophistication and authority, while the slant adds motion and a slightly exuberant, poster-like energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif display typography: dramatic stems, refined hairlines, and italic movement for impactful, editorial wordmarks and large-size composition.
Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with distinctive pointed joins and tapered strokes that make figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9 feel stylized. The glyph set shown favors strong silhouettes and crisp entry/exit strokes, which can create striking word shapes at larger sizes.
