A high-contrast serif with a pronounced forward slant and sculpted, wedge-like serifs. Strokes transition from hairline-thin connections to heavy, rounded stems, creating a strong diagonal rhythm and a distinctly calligraphic flow. Counters are generally compact and the joins are tight, producing dense, inky black shapes at display sizes. The serifs are sharp and tapered rather than blocky, and the overall drawing emphasizes elegant curves, pointed terminals, and crisp entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, brand marks, and premium packaging where contrast and slanted energy are assets. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles, especially when given generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic serif sophistication with a runway-like sense of motion. Its dramatic contrast and steep italic stance read as confident and upscale, with an expressive, slightly vintage editorial flair.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif italic—prioritizing elegance, motion, and striking light–dark patterning over neutral, long-form readability.
In text samples the thick strokes dominate and the hairlines become delicate, so spacing and line length play a big role in maintaining clarity. The numerals and capitals feel particularly emphatic, while the lowercase retains a flowing, italicized texture that keeps headlines lively.
