A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and dark, sculpted main strokes. Letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic stress, with tapered terminals and sharp, bracketed serifs that often finish in fine points. Curves are tight and polished, with crisp joins and energetic entry/exit strokes, giving the text a lively, rhythmic flow. Proportions feel moderately narrow in the lowercase with a conventional x-height, while capitals read stately and clean with strong thick–thin modeling.
Well-suited to magazine and book display typography, fashion and beauty branding, and polished headline settings where contrast and italic motion are desirable. It can also serve for premium packaging, invitations, and pull quotes, especially when set with ample size and spacing to let fine details stay clear.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, projecting an editorial, luxury-leaning voice. Its italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and speed, while the crisp contrast and pointed detailing create a poised, high-end impression.
Likely designed to deliver a modernized, high-contrast italic serif voice that feels both classic and fashion-forward. The intent appears focused on expressive display use, emphasizing crisp hairlines, tapered serifs, and a confident slanted rhythm for sophisticated communication.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals become a key feature, producing a sparkling texture and clear calligraphic character. Numerals match the same contrast and slanted rhythm, helping headlines and short numeric callouts feel cohesive.
