A sharply italic serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Stems are robust and taper quickly into hairline joins and terminals, with crisp wedge-like serifs and flared stroke endings that feel carved rather than mechanical. Counters are compact and teardrop-shaped in places, and the overall texture alternates between dense dark strokes and delicate, razor-thin connectors. The figures and capitals show lively width variation and angled stress, producing an energetic, forward-leaning line.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, fashion and beauty branding, and poster work where its contrast and italic motion can carry the composition. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, particularly when paired with a calmer companion for body text.
The tone is assertive and luxurious, balancing classical letterform cues with a dramatic, fashion-forward flair. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast create a sense of sophistication and spectacle, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet utility. The italic slant reads as energetic and stylish, with a distinctly editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that emphasizes elegance through extreme contrast and sharpened serif detailing. It aims to deliver a premium, editorial look with a lively calligraphic cadence and a bold, sculpted silhouette.
In longer text the hairline links and tight apertures can create a sparkling, high-contrast texture, especially at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. The design’s sharp beaks, wedges, and sweeping italics become most legible and expressive when given enough size and air, where the sculptural details can read cleanly.
