A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress, thick main strokes, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and many terminals end in crisp wedges or small ball-like finishes. The italic angle is assertive, with energetic entry/exit strokes and a slightly calligraphic sweep in letters like a, f, g, and y. Proportions feel broad in the caps and numerals, while spacing is relatively tight, creating a dense, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial, premium branding, posters, and pull quotes. It can work for short bursts of text where a refined, dramatic voice is desired, especially at sizes that preserve the thin hairlines.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion confidence with a dramatic, editorial tone. Its sharp contrasts and emphatic italic motion feel ceremonial and attention-grabbing, leaning toward luxury and headline-driven sophistication rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic with classic roots—prioritizing elegance, punchy emphasis, and a distinctive display presence through sharp serifs, vertical stress, and sweeping italic forms.
In continuous text, the strong contrast and tight internal spaces create a dark, high-impact color that favors larger sizes. Distinctive curls and small finishing details (notably in J, Q, z, and several lowercase descenders) add personality and a slightly theatrical flair.
