A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Thick vertical strokes and razor-thin hairlines create sharp color changes, while the serifs read as refined and slightly bracketing into the stems rather than blocky. Curves are generous and rounded (notably in bowls and numerals), with tapered terminals and occasional flicks that give the outlines a carved, glossy feel. Proportions skew broad with ample counters, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with diagonals and angled joins contributing to a lively texture in longer lines.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and branding where high contrast and slanted forms can be shown at comfortable sizes. It can add a premium, editorial voice to magazine layouts, beauty and fashion packaging, and upscale promotional materials where crisp reproduction is available.
The tone is assertive and elegant, combining classic editorial sophistication with a theatrical, fashion-forward flair. Its dramatic contrast and slanted stance feel luxurious and attention-grabbing, suited to designs that want polish with a hint of showmanship.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic high-contrast serif idiom with an italicized, display-centric attitude—prioritizing drama, elegance, and visual momentum over quiet neutrality. The widened proportions and sculpted details suggest a focus on impactful typography in prominent settings.
Uppercase forms feel stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase shows more movement in entries and exits, increasing the sense of speed in text. Numerals share the same contrast and curvature, reading as stylish and slightly ornamental in large sizes.
