This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with a distinctly calligraphic build. Strokes transition sharply from hairline thins to strong, rounded mains, with tapered terminals and finely cut serifs that read as bracketed rather than blocky. The letterforms feel generously proportioned and open, with smooth curves, narrow joins, and a forward-leaning rhythm that keeps counters clear even as contrast peaks. Numerals share the same energetic slope and contrast, mixing sturdy verticals with hairline hooks and angled stress.
It’s well suited to editorial headlines, magazine display typography, and brand systems that want a refined, high-end voice. The lively slant and strong contrast make it effective for posters, pull quotes, and packaging where elegance and impact matter more than dense, small-size reading.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, pairing classical serif cues with a fashion-forward pace. Its sharp thins and sweeping diagonals create a sense of drama and prestige, giving text a headline-like confidence even at moderate sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast italic serif for display-led typography, emphasizing elegance, speed, and visual punch. Its consistent stress, crisp serifs, and tapered detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial and brand expression.
The italic construction is prominent enough to define the texture of a paragraph, producing a lively, shimmering rhythm across lines. Curved letters show a consistent angled stress, and capitals deliver a crisp, editorial presence with clean silhouettes and minimal ornament beyond the contrast and serifs.
