This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings. The slant is pronounced and consistent, with long, tapering entry/exit strokes and sharp, wedge-like terminals that give the letters a crisp sparkle. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively open for the style, and the rhythm alternates between hairline connections and strong shaded strokes. Uppercase forms feel classical and slightly narrow in posture, while the lowercase shows a lively, handwritten italic logic with compact joins and energetic diagonals.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine feature typography, fashion and beauty branding, and book or article titling where a sophisticated italic is desired. It can also work for invitations and short, elegant statements, especially when given enough size and spacing to let the hairlines and flared terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, combining polished elegance with a quick, stylish motion. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast create a sense of luxury and drama, while the italic cadence adds a literary, editorial voice suited to cultivated settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on a classical italic: dramatic contrast, crisp wedge terminals, and flared endings that emphasize motion and sophistication. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and premium presence for display-led typography.
Numerals follow the same contrasty, italicized stress with clean, pointed terminals; they read as refined rather than utilitarian. The face relies on delicate hairlines for much of its detail, which increases its visual finesse but also makes it feel more at home in display sizes than in rugged, small-scale conditions.
