A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal axis and crisp, hairline connectors. Thick stems taper into sharp wedge-like and lightly bracketed serifs, giving strokes a cut, polished finish. Curves are tight and controlled with pointed terminals and occasional ball-like details in the lowercase, producing a lively rhythm. Proportions feel elegant and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height with energetic ascenders and descenders; numerals match the same razor-thin/thick-thin modulation.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, premium branding, and elegant packaging where contrast and motion are assets. It performs best in short to medium text settings at generous sizes, where hairlines and delicate details have room to reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a fashion-forward, high-end sensibility. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic motion read as confident and expressive, while the disciplined construction keeps it poised rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic for sophisticated display typography, combining classic serif cues with a sharper, more stylized calligraphic edge for contemporary editorial impact.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and hairlines create sparkling texture at larger sizes, with prominent entry/exit strokes and pointed joins shaping an intentionally calligraphic flow. The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the capitals carry a formal, display-like presence that can dominate a line when used in title case.
