A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, flaring stroke endings that give stems a subtly sculpted feel. The letters are compact and vertically efficient, with tight proportions and a brisk, rightward slant. Serifs and terminals resolve into fine points and wedges, producing crisp entry/exit strokes and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Counters are relatively narrow and the joins are clean, keeping the overall texture dark, sleek, and controlled in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and brand-led applications where contrast and italic energy are desirable. It can work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes, but it reads most confidently when given room—such as covers, lookbooks, invitations, and premium packaging—where its sharp terminals and narrow texture can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and high-fashion, combining classic italic elegance with a more contemporary, razor-edged finish. Its dramatic contrast and pointed detailing create a sense of luxury, urgency, and editorial sophistication rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast italic voice with a slightly flared, sculpted finish—bridging classical serif sophistication and modern editorial impact. Its compact width and pointed detailing suggest a focus on stylish emphasis and strong hierarchy in display typography.
Capitals show a strong display presence with emphatic diagonals and hairline connections, while the lowercase maintains a consistent slanted flow that reads like a refined, engraved italic. Numerals follow the same contrast and sharp terminal logic, looking suited to prominent, styled settings rather than small, utilitarian text.
