A high-contrast serif with an assertive italic slant and strongly sculpted letterforms. Thick vertical stems and swelling curves are paired with very fine hairline joins and serifs, creating a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, with pointed terminals and tapered strokes that feel cut and polished rather than blunt. Counters tend to be compact and the overall texture is dense, especially in the heavier diagonals and rounded letters, while the thins stay delicate and precise.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and branding where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short display passages and titling in editorial layouts, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading. For small text or low-resolution settings, the hairlines may require careful size and color choices to maintain clarity.
The tone is elegant and emphatic, with a fashion-editorial kind of drama. Its sharp hairlines and steep contrast read as refined and ceremonial, while the italic movement adds urgency and flair. Overall it feels classic and high-status rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: dramatic stroke modulation, knife-like serifs, and a luxurious page presence. It prioritizes sophistication and impact, aiming to elevate titles and statements with a distinctly refined voice.
The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with noticeable stroke modulation through the diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X) and a pronounced, stylish tail on Q. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with curvy figures showing fine hairline connections that will reward generous sizes and clean printing.
