A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly sculpted thick–thin modulation. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like terminals with subtle bracketing, giving strokes a carved, crisp finish rather than a slabbed feel. Counters are compact and the rhythm is lively, with diagonals and curves showing a distinctly calligraphic pull; lowercase forms lean into teardrop/pointed joins and angled stress. Uppercase letters are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the overall texture remains dark and glossy due to the heavy main strokes and fine hairlines.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, editorial deck lines, luxury branding, and packaging where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when given comfortable leading and not overly small reproduction.
The tone is polished and theatrical, combining traditional serif authority with a stylish, high-fashion slant. It conveys confidence and sophistication, with enough drama in the contrast and terminals to feel headline-ready and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and an expressive italic gesture, aiming for refined impact and a premium, print-forward presence.
In text settings the hairlines and interior apertures create sparkling highlights against a dense overall color, making spacing and line length feel important to readability. Numerals and capitals share the same sharp terminal language, maintaining a consistent, formal cadence across mixed content.
