A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in broad, sculpted strokes. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and terminals often finish in pointed, calligraphic tips that reinforce the slanted, flowing rhythm. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous curves and deep interior counters, while the lowercase is compact and energetic, with single-storey forms and lively entry/exit strokes. Figures follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and thin joins that read best at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, covers, and short-to-medium text in editorial layouts where contrast and motion are desirable. It can add a premium, couture-like character to branding and packaging, and works well for posters and cultural promotions when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic bookish refinement with a fashion-forward, headline-ready energy. Its strong slant and razor-thin details create a sense of speed and sophistication, making the texture feel intentional and expressive rather than strictly utilitarian.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly italic, calligraphic swagger—aimed at display typography that feels refined, modern, and attention-grabbing.
The design leans on sweeping diagonals (notably in letters like v, w, x, y) and pronounced stroke modulation, which gives words a distinct shimmer in longer lines. Thin parts become extremely delicate, so spacing and size will strongly influence perceived smoothness and legibility.
