A sharply slanted, calligraphic display face with dramatic thick–thin modulation and frequent hairline terminals. Strokes often taper into needle-like ends, giving many forms a flared, brush-cut finish rather than conventional serifs. Uppercase shapes are tall and open with airy counters, while the lowercase shows a more cursive construction with looping descenders (notably in g, j, q, y) and a single-storey a. Numerals mirror the same contrast and tapering, with delicate joins and occasional swash-like endings that heighten the sense of motion.
Best suited to short-form typography where its contrast and hairline details can remain crisp: fashion/editorial headlines, luxury or beauty branding, logotypes, and high-impact poster or cover work. It can also accent packaging and invitations when set at generous sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is stylish and expressive—more couture and magazine than utilitarian text. Its sweeping curves and razor-thin details create a sense of sophistication and drama, reading as confident, polished, and slightly theatrical.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, editorial italic voice that blends calligraphic movement with clean, contemporary silhouettes. Its emphasis on tapering strokes and expressive terminals suggests an intention to provide distinctive display typography for brand-forward, style-led applications.
The design leans on gesture and taper: diagonals and curves feel drawn with a pointed tool, and many terminals finish in sharp hooks or fine strokes. In longer samples, the rhythm is lively and varied, with distinctive letterform personalities that favor headline impact over uniform texture.
