A right-leaning contrasted italic with sharp, tapered terminals and a lively, calligraphic stroke rhythm. Forms show strong thick–thin modulation with diagonal stress, producing crisp hairlines against weighty main strokes. Counters are relatively open for a display italic, while joins and curves are clean and controlled; several letters feature subtle hooks and flared endings that add motion without becoming overly ornate. Numerals follow the same expressive contrast, with curvy figures and tapered entries that keep the set cohesive in running text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where an energetic italic voice can lead the typographic hierarchy. It works well for branding, packaging, and campaign graphics that need a polished, premium feel, and can add emphasis in pull quotes or cover lines when paired with a calmer companion face.
The tone is poised and dramatic, pairing a refined, fashion-forward elegance with a sense of speed and emphasis. It reads as premium and expressive rather than neutral, making it feel at home in editorial and branding contexts where personality is welcome.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, refined italic with strong contrast and expressive terminals—an attention-getting style that evokes classic print elegance while remaining clean enough for modern layout work.
The design relies on pronounced slant and contrast for hierarchy, so it naturally draws the eye and benefits from generous spacing in larger settings. Round letters and diagonals carry much of the visual energy, creating a smooth, forward rhythm across words and lines.
