A sharply slanted serif with very strong thick–thin modulation and a pronounced diagonal stress. Hairline serifs and needle-like terminals contrast with broad, smooth main strokes, producing a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Forms are narrow and elegant with lively, calligraphic joins; curves are taut and the rhythm is quick, with pronounced entry/exit strokes and occasional ball-like terminals in the lowercase. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, showing delicate horizontals against substantial verticals and diagonals.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic momentum can be appreciated—mastheads, pull quotes, covers, and brand marks for premium or style-led contexts. It can also work for short passages or captions when set with generous size and spacing, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital environments.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and steep italic energy add a sense of speed and flair while remaining polished and controlled.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, editorial italic with classic serif cues—maximizing elegance through extreme contrast, sharp terminals, and a flowing calligraphic cadence for impactful, premium-facing typography.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines read as a defining feature, giving the face a bright, airy texture; in dense settings those hairlines and tight interior spaces may demand careful size, spacing, and printing conditions to stay crisp.
