A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant, vertical stress, and crisp hairline serifs. Thick stems and tapered joins create a sharp, engraved feel, while curves are narrow and tightly controlled, producing lively modulation through bowls and terminals. Proportions lean slightly condensed in many letters, with compact counters and a steady, traditional rhythm across caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with elegant, thin finishing strokes and a slightly display-oriented presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title treatments where contrast and slant can contribute drama and hierarchy. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, classical italic voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with adequate spacing to preserve the thin details.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, mixing classic sophistication with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its bright hairlines and decisive thick strokes give it an assertive, premium voice that reads as editorial and ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a statement italic for high-impact typography, balancing classic serif conventions with heightened contrast and a sleek, contemporary sharpness. Its proportions and detailing suggest a focus on elegance and emphasis, making it a strong companion for editorial and brand-led layouts.
The italic construction is strongly emphasized, with energetic diagonals and crisp entry/exit strokes that create a sense of speed. At larger sizes the fine details feel precise and elegant; at smaller sizes those hairlines may become visually delicate, reinforcing a display-first character.
