This typeface presents a sharply slanted, high-contrast drawing with hairline joins and tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and elliptical, with a lively, calligraphic rhythm that alternates thick and thin strokes dramatically. Proportions feel relatively tall and open, with rounded bowls (notably in C/O/Q) and narrow, blade-like diagonals in letters such as V/W/X. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with delicate thins and graceful curves that read well in display sizes.
It is well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and poster typography where its contrast and slanted energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or lead-ins paired with a steadier text face, especially when a refined, high-end tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, evoking contemporary editorial and fashion typography. Its crisp hairlines and flowing italics add a sense of motion and sophistication, making the page feel upscale and lightly dramatic rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial italic with pronounced contrast and a graceful, calligraphic flow. It prioritizes elegance, movement, and a luxurious page texture for display-led settings.
The italic construction is pronounced, with long, sweeping entry/exit strokes in many lowercase forms and a notably slender, calligraphic ‘f’. The texture in paragraphs appears light and airy, with strong sparkle from the fine strokes and generous counters, favoring elegance over ruggedness.
