A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. The forms are wide and sweeping, with a strong rightward slant and an energetic rhythm that comes from long entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often reduced to fine wedges, while the main strokes remain dense and sculpted; overall stress reads predominantly vertical. Counters are relatively open for such contrast, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a with a teardrop terminal and a lively, calligraphic finish across letters like f, j, y, and z.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, premium brand marks, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titles, especially where ample size and spacing preserve the fine hairlines and crisp serifs.
The tone is glossy and high-end, with a distinctly editorial attitude—dramatic in headlines yet polished and controlled. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic gestures evoke fashion, luxury branding, and sophisticated print design, delivering elegance with a hint of theatrical flair.
Designed to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast italic voice that prioritizes drama and elegance over neutrality, using sharp hairlines and sweeping terminals to create a memorable, headline-forward presence.
Capital proportions feel stately and slightly expanded, while the italic construction introduces flowing joins and curved finishing strokes that add motion. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, with stylized curves and tapered terminals that read best at display sizes where the hairlines can breathe.
