A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered, brush-like thick strokes. The construction shows a strong rightward slant, narrow entry/exit terminals, and crisp wedge serifs that often resolve into fine points. Curves are taut and controlled, with a lively diagonal stress and a consistent, brisk rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Counters remain fairly open despite the contrast, while ascenders are prominent and strokes frequently finish with delicate flicks and beaks.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand titling where the contrast and fine hairlines can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form text in premium contexts, especially with generous size and spacing, but the delicate details suggest careful use in small sizes or low-resolution settings.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing editorial sophistication with a touch of flamboyance. Its sharp, glossy detailing and sweeping italic motion feel at home in luxury contexts, while the disciplined serif structure keeps it anchored in classic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice: dramatic contrast, sharp finishing strokes, and a fast, calligraphic cadence. It aims to evoke traditional serif refinement while adding modern, editorial energy through taut curves and pointed terminals.
The italic forms are strongly prioritized: many shapes show pronounced swash-like terminals and tapered joins, creating sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and angled stress, contributing to a cohesive, fashionable texture when mixed with text.
