A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and sharply tapered hairlines against weighty main strokes. The letterforms are wide and strongly sculpted, with crisp, wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals that create a sleek, cutting silhouette. Curves are tightly controlled and slightly flattened in places, while joins and counters feel compact and energetic. The italic construction shows calligraphic influence in the asymmetric stress and the lively, sweeping entry/exit strokes, especially in the lowercase and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can also serve luxury branding, fashion, beauty, and cultural posters where a classic serif voice with heightened drama is desired; it is less at home in small, dense text settings.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—luxurious in contrast, but also assertive and attention-seeking. It reads as fashion-forward and editorial, with a sense of classic refinement pushed toward drama by the heavy strokes and sharp detailing.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, display-leaning take on a conventional serif italic: maximizing contrast, width, and sharp terminal detailing to create a striking, upscale presence. Its expressive italic movement and sculpted forms suggest an emphasis on impact and elegance over neutrality.
Capitals carry a distinctly display-oriented presence, with broad proportions and confident diagonals that hold up in large settings. The lowercase includes several expressive shapes (notably the looped descenders and the lively ‘g’ and ‘j’), adding motion and personality. Numerals appear similarly italicized and stylized, matching the sharp, high-contrast rhythm of the letters.
