A high-contrast italic serif with strongly tapered strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean decisively and show calligraphic modulation, with hairline joins and thick, sculpted stems that create a lively rhythm. Capitals are compact and sharp with pronounced terminals, while lowercase forms use rounded bowls and distinctive entry/exit strokes that add movement. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with open curves and clear thick–thin transitions that read well at display sizes.
This font is well suited for editorial headlines, magazine features, and fashion or lifestyle branding where a high-contrast italic voice conveys sophistication. It also works effectively on posters, invitations, and short pull quotes that benefit from expressive, calligraphic rhythm.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, combining classic serif structure with a fashion-forward, energetic slant. It feels refined and theatrical, suited to emphatic headlines where contrast and motion are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif experience with heightened contrast and a confident italic stance, prioritizing expressive texture and elegant impact in display typography.
Spacing and widths feel intentionally varied, creating a dynamic texture in words; the sample text shows strong word-shape and punchy emphasis rather than quiet uniformity. The sharp hairlines and delicate joins suggest it will be most comfortable when given enough size and breathing room.
