A high-contrast serif italic with strongly tapered strokes and crisp hairlines. The letterforms sit on a pronounced forward slant with lively, calligraphic entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals. Serifs are finely cut and generally unbracketed, creating a sharp, polished texture, while bowls and arches show clear vertical stress. Proportions run generously wide with open counters and a confident, display-oriented rhythm that remains coherent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and branded typography where high contrast and italic motion can be shown at comfortable sizes. It can also work for short passages in refined editorial contexts, but its thin hairlines and sharp detailing are most effective when given adequate size and printing/screen conditions.
The tone is refined and dramatic, combining classical bookish cues with a stylish, fashion-forward energy. Its sharp details and energetic italic movement read as premium and intentional, lending an editorial sophistication rather than a casual or utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion italic voice with classical serif discipline—prioritizing crisp contrast, energetic slant, and wide, open shapes for impactful display typography.
Caps are broad and commanding, with especially striking diagonal structures (V/W/X/Y) and a swash-like energy in curves such as Q and S. Lowercase shows distinct italic construction with single-storey forms where expected (notably a and g), and numerals carry the same contrast and pointed finishing strokes, giving figures a headline-ready presence.
