A high-contrast italic serif with calligraphic construction and tapered, flared stroke endings. The letterforms show a pronounced slant, sharp hairlines, and fuller main strokes that swell and narrow smoothly, giving a lively rhythm. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing and pointed terminals that emphasize directional movement. Proportions feel moderately compact with a normal x-height, and curves are clean and controlled, especially in rounds and bowls.
Well-suited to magazine typography, headlines, pull quotes, and luxury branding where contrast and italic motion can be shown at larger sizes. It can also work for premium packaging and formal invitations when set with generous spacing and careful line breaks.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and energetic italic flow create a sense of drama and refinement, leaning more luxurious than casual.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif authority with a more expressive, calligraphy-informed italic, using flare and contrast to create a contemporary editorial voice. It prioritizes elegance and visual rhythm over neutrality, aiming to add personality and emphasis in display and short-text contexts.
Uppercase forms read stately and slightly formal, while the lowercase has more cursive motion and a forward-driving texture. Numerals echo the same contrast and tapering, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that suit display settings.
