A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are refined and mostly bracketed, with occasional beak-like finishes that emphasize the forward motion of the italic. Uppercase forms feel compact and sculpted with tight apertures and strong diagonals, while the lowercase shows a lively, calligraphic rhythm with high contrast joins and clearly varied character widths. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and narrow-to-wide transitions that read best at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where contrast and italic energy can carry the composition. It also works well for pull quotes, titles, and premium packaging or labeling, especially when printed large enough to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its steep italic and dramatic contrast add a sense of motion and theatricality, suggesting sophistication and confidence rather than neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classic italic serifs: expressive, fashion-forward, and optimized for impactful display typography while retaining traditional serif cues.
Spacing appears intentionally tight in display settings, with letterforms designed to interlock visually without losing silhouette clarity. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines maintain a cohesive, sweeping texture.
