A high-contrast serif italic with sculpted, tapering strokes and crisp wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a strong diagonal flow, with pointed entry/exit strokes and sharp, triangular serifs that feel cut rather than rounded. Counters are relatively tight in places and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable thick–thin modulation and elegant hairlines in joins and cross strokes. Uppercase forms read stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase includes calligraphic cues (notably in a, f, g, and y) that emphasize motion and flourish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logo-style wordmarks where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text in premium editorial layouts, invitations, or campaign graphics, but will generally perform more confidently in display sizes than in dense body copy.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a fashion-forward, high-end editorial voice. Its strong contrast and energetic italic slant create a sense of speed and sophistication, lending headlines an intentional, styled presence rather than a neutral text feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, editorial take on classic high-contrast serif italics—prioritizing elegance, motion, and sharp detailing for impactful typography in premium contexts.
Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved, sweeping forms and delicate hairline details that can visually thin out at smaller sizes. The sample text suggests best results when given generous size and spacing so the sharp terminals and hairlines remain clear.
