A slanted serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes taper into sharp, pointed terminals and hairline joins, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Counters are relatively open, while entry and exit strokes often flare, giving characters an energetic, slightly sculpted look. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled logic, pairing sturdy main stems with razor-thin hairlines.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, brand marks, and promotional posters where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially when set with generous spacing and strong print or screen rendering.
The overall tone is high-fashion and editorial, with a confident, theatrical elegance. Its sharp details and dramatic contrast read as refined and premium, leaning toward a modernized classic rather than a purely traditional book face.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial italic with classic serif foundations, emphasizing dramatic contrast, speed, and polish. Its sharpened terminals and flared serifs suggest a focus on expressive impact and upscale presentation over quiet, long-form neutrality.
The italic slant is assertive and consistent, and the letterforms show pronounced, stylized terminals (notably in curves and diagonals) that create a sense of motion. At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed joins become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes those details may require careful size and background contrast to maintain clarity.
