A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. Stems and terminals show a subtle flaring that reads as chiseled rather than bracketed, with pointed, knife-like endings on many diagonals and cross strokes. The slant is assertive and consistent, producing a lively diagonal rhythm; curves are taut and polished, and counters tend toward narrow apertures in letters like a, e, and s. Uppercase forms feel statuesque with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase combines brisk entry strokes and tapered terminals, giving a distinctly calligraphic flow without becoming script-like.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium display copy where its contrast and italic rhythm can be appreciated. It fits fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium branding, invitations, and packaging where a classic yet sharp voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—suited to luxury, fashion, and high-end publishing where contrast and poise are part of the message. Its crisp hairlines and flared finishes convey a sense of precision and sophistication, with an energetic italic cadence that feels confident and slightly dramatic.
The letterforms appear intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast italics with a more sculptural, flared finishing, emphasizing sharpness, elegance, and motion. The consistent slant and pronounced thick–thin structure suggest a display-forward design aimed at creating a striking, upscale typographic voice.
The design favors sharp junctions and tapered ends, which creates sparkle at display sizes but can make the finest strokes feel delicate in dense settings. Figures follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, with curvy forms (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) emphasizing a stylish, editorial personality.
