A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a calligraphic construction. Strokes taper into pointed, flared terminals and delicately cut serifs, giving letters a sleek, knife-edge finish. The rhythm is compact and vertical in the capitals, while the lowercase shows more cursive movement with flowing joins and looped forms, maintaining a consistent, polished texture across words. Numerals follow the same contrasty, tapered logic, with narrow figures and brisk, angled stress.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and tapered detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text—introductions, captions, and deck copy—when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, combining classic editorial polish with a fashionable, high-drama flair. Its crisp contrasts and angled movement feel upscale and intentional, projecting confidence without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, modern serif italic with a flared, calligraphic finish—optimized for stylish emphasis and high-impact typography while keeping a controlled, consistent structure.
Counters are relatively tight and the joins and curves are drawn with a disciplined, consistent angle, which reinforces a smooth, continuous line in text. The italic slant is assertive enough to read as a stylistic voice rather than a mild oblique, and the pointed terminals amplify a sense of speed and precision.
