A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and heavy, sculpted main strokes. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with sharp triangular entry strokes and tapered terminals that read as inked, wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs. Counters are relatively open and rounded, while joins and curves often pinch into crisp points, giving the forms a cut, polished look. Spacing feels display-oriented: characters are substantial and energetic, and the figures match the overall italic, high-contrast construction.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short editorial lines where its contrast and italic energy can carry the layout. It can also work for luxury-oriented branding and packaging accents, especially when used sparingly and with generous whitespace. For longer passages, it will be more comfortable at larger sizes where hairlines don’t disappear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, balancing classic refinement with a sense of motion and flair. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic gestures evoke fashion/editorial typography and upscale branding, with an assertive presence that feels more couture than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic serif—prioritizing elegance, speed, and visual drama. Its sharp terminals and disciplined contrast suggest a focus on premium display typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
Several letters exhibit expressive, slightly swashed details (notably in curved forms and some lowercase terminals), which adds personality and emphasis in headlines. The combination of hairline details and dense thick strokes suggests it will look best when rendered at sizes where the fine strokes can remain clean.
