A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced, wedge-like terminals that behave almost like blade-cut serifs. Curves are sculpted and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with strong thick–thin modulation and occasional teardrop/ink-trap-like cuts that open counters and add sparkle. The capitals feel display-forward with broad curves and abrupt hairline finishes, while the lowercase shows a lively slant, compact joins, and distinctive, sometimes looped forms; the numerals follow the same calligraphic, high-drama construction.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, and premium packaging where high contrast and decorative terminals can be showcased. It can also work for short pulls, chapter openers, and standout quotes when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is fashionable and theatrical—more couture editorial than bookish classic. Its brisk slant and razor-thin hairlines give it a sense of speed and sophistication, while the unconventional terminals add a quirky, bespoke edge.
Likely designed to reinterpret classic italic serifs through a more experimental, cut-paper/calligraphic lens, emphasizing contrast, motion, and memorable word-shapes. The goal appears to be a distinctive editorial voice rather than quiet, continuous reading.
Rhythm is energetic and uneven in an intentional, expressive way, with noticeable variation in stroke endings and internal cutouts that can create striking texture in words. The sharp hairlines and ornate detailing make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the fine features can remain crisp.
