A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with angled stress, long entry/exit cuts, and small, razor-like terminals that often read as flared or wedge-shaped rather than bracketed. Counters are generous and the overall proportions feel expansive, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a dynamic texture in words. Numerals and lowercase carry the same incisive detailing, with thin hairlines and pointed joins that emphasize a refined, fashion-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, logos/wordmarks, and premium packaging where its sharp contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or titles, but the fine hairlines and energetic texture make it less ideal for small-size, dense paragraph text.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, balancing sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge. It suggests luxury and editorial polish, with enough sharpness and motion to feel expressive rather than purely classical.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, editorial serif voice with a distinctly italic, calligraphic bite—prioritizing visual drama, refined contrast, and sculpted terminals for standout display typography.
In longer settings the strong diagonal movement and extreme contrast create a pronounced sparkle, especially around thin hairlines and tapered terminals. The design reads best when given room—its wide stance and sharp details benefit from generous tracking and larger sizes.
