A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and pronounced vertical stress. Thick stems and bowls pair with extremely fine hairlines, producing sharp, needle-like serifs and delicate entry/exit strokes. Forms are narrow-to-moderate in their internal proportions but with lively, varying letter widths and slanted, sweeping curves that create a rhythmic forward motion. Terminals tend to be tapered and clean, with minimal bracketing and a distinctly chiseled, editorial finish.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can reproduce cleanly—editorial headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and refined brand marks. It can also work for short, high-impact text in invitations or packaging, especially where an elegant, italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly couture and literary feel. Its dramatic contrast and italic energy read as sophisticated and expressive rather than utilitarian, suggesting prestige, taste, and a touch of theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast italics: dramatic stroke modulation, crisp detailing, and an energetic slant optimized for display and editorial impact.
Uppercase shapes feel sculpted and stately, while the lowercase shows more movement and fluidity, especially in curved letters and descenders. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin joins and elegant curves that maintain consistency in texture across mixed text.
