A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and a strongly sculpted, calligraphic rhythm. Thick verticals and swelling main strokes are paired with very thin hairlines and sharp joins, creating bright, glossy counters and a crisp black–white pattern on the page. Serifs are small and tapered with subtle bracketing, and terminals often finish in pointed, wedge-like cuts. Curves are lively and slightly asymmetric in the italics, with narrow entry/exit strokes and a refined, engraved feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, display lines, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and culture magazines, luxury packaging or branding, and poster-style compositions. In longer settings it can create a distinctive, classic editorial color when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is dramatic and polished, evoking classic print luxury and fashion-led editorial typography. Its steep contrast and energetic italic motion feel assertive and ceremonial, leaning toward elegance rather than neutrality. The style reads as traditional and cultivated, with a touch of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif italics: elegant, attention-grabbing, and optimized for impact in larger sizes. Its sharp hairlines, tapered serifs, and calligraphic stress suggest an aim toward refined sophistication and strong typographic presence.
Uppercase forms appear sturdy and monumental while maintaining delicate hairlines, and the lowercase shows a more animated, pen-driven flow, producing a noticeably textured line in running text. Numerals match the italic stress and contrast, with sharp, refined details that emphasize the font’s high-end character.
