A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings. Strokes transition from hairline thins to heavy, tapered stems, creating crisp, bright counters and a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs are sharp and expressive rather than blocky, with wedge-like terminals and gentle bracketing that reinforces the flowing, pen-inspired feel. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals and a moderate, readable x-height; curved letters show pronounced stress and clean, smooth joins.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion spreads, premium branding, and campaign posters where its high contrast and italic energy can shine. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is elegant and fashion-forward, with a dramatic, premium presence that feels at home in editorial typography. Its energetic slant and razor-thin details add theatricality and sophistication, while the controlled structure keeps it polished rather than whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a calligraphic italic serif, emphasizing sharp elegance, contrast-driven drama, and flared terminals for a distinctly upscale editorial voice.
The numerals and capitals carry especially strong contrast and pointed terminals, which heightens the sense of precision and sparkle at display sizes. In longer text, the strong italic motion and hairline details create a dense, stylish texture that reads best when given generous size and spacing.
