An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, wedge-like finishing to many strokes. Stems and diagonals show tapered transitions that flare into sharp terminals, creating a sculpted, energetic texture. Capitals are compact and slightly narrow with crisp, pointed serifs, while the lowercase has a lively rhythm with angled joins and occasional teardrop-like counters and dots. Figures are similarly dynamic, mixing strong vertical emphasis with angled entry/exit strokes and sharp apexes.
Best suited to large sizes where the strong modulation and sharp terminals can be appreciated—editorial headlines, magazine titling, luxury branding, and striking poster typography. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis in pull quotes, covers, and packaging, where a confident, high-contrast italic is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—an upscale, editorial voice with a sense of motion. Its steep italic angle and razor-cut endings add urgency and sophistication, reading as classic yet fashion-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic with a classical foundation and a modern, sharpened edge. By combining flared, wedge-like terminals with tight, controlled curves, it aims to create expressive word shapes that feel both elegant and forceful.
The spacing and letterfit appear tuned for display, producing a punchy, high-impact word shape in headlines. Curves (notably in C/G/O/S) are taut and smooth, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel blade-like due to their tapered terminals, reinforcing a crisp, premium finish.
