This typeface is a high-contrast italic with a flowing, calligraphic construction and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes swell and thin dramatically through curves and joins, creating a lively diagonal rhythm and an overall sense of forward motion. Uppercase forms are relatively narrow and stately with clean, open counters, while the lowercase shows more personality through looped descenders (notably in g, j, y) and softly braced curves. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with prominent thick–thin transitions and elegant, slightly sweeping silhouettes.
It performs best in magazines, headlines, pull quotes, and branding where its high-contrast strokes and energetic italic can be appreciated. It can also work for refined invitations and packaging, particularly when used at moderate-to-large sizes to preserve the delicacy of thin strokes.
The overall tone feels polished and expressive—suited to luxury, culture, and editorial environments where a sophisticated italic voice is desired. Its contrast and slant give it a dramatic, fashion-forward presence, while the classical proportions keep it composed rather than playful.
The design intention reads as an elegant italic built to deliver a premium, editorial voice—combining classical, sculpted shapes with a contemporary sharpness in terminals and contrast. It aims to provide drama and refinement in display and emphasis settings while maintaining a coherent, readable rhythm across longer lines.
Letterspacing appears comfortable at display sizes, and the contrast becomes a defining feature in text, where thin hairlines and pointed terminals add sparkle. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive texture in longer settings.
