A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced forward slant and tightly set proportions. Thick verticals and hairline diagonals create a crisp, chiseled texture, while the serifs are sharp and finely tapered, often forming pointed terminals rather than blunt slabs. Curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic stress, giving letters a sculpted, cut-from-ink feel; counters are compact and the overall rhythm is energetic, with some characters showing more expressive entry/exit strokes that add sparkle in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial design, posters, and brand marks where a refined but forceful italic voice is desirable. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in high-contrast layouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is dramatic and upscale, blending classic serif authority with a stylish, high-fashion attitude. Its sharp contrast and italic motion feel theatrical and attention-grabbing, suited to moments where typography is meant to perform rather than quietly recede.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure through a highly stylized italic lens, emphasizing contrast, sharp terminals, and compact proportions for maximum impact. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and elegant tension over neutral, everyday text restraint.
In longer samples, the dense texture and hairline details make it feel most comfortable at larger sizes, where the fine strokes and pointed terminals stay crisp. The uppercase reads as bold and commanding, while the lowercase leans more fluid and expressive, creating a strong hierarchy when mixed.
