A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and crisp, tapered terminals. Vertical strokes are hairline-thin against broad, wedge-like thick strokes, with lively modulation and flared, slightly bracketed serif treatment that often resolves into pointed beaks. Proportions are elegant and somewhat narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase shows fluid, angled stress and pronounced entry/exit strokes that create a rhythmic forward slant. Numerals follow the same sharp, editorial logic, with thin diagonals and emphatic thick curves.
Well-suited to headlines and display typography in magazines, lookbooks, and other editorial settings where contrast and elegance are assets. It can add a premium, boutique character to branding and packaging, and works effectively for posters or title treatments where the italic movement can be showcased.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic fashion sensibility. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic movement feel expressive and confident, evoking high-end editorial design and classic print sophistication.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic serif voice: dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and a refined calligraphic rhythm intended to elevate short-form text and prominent typographic moments.
The design reads best where the hairlines can remain intact; small sizes or low-resolution contexts may soften the finest strokes. The italic forms include noticeable swash-like gestures in several letters, giving text a distinctive sparkle and momentum.
