A sharply slanted display serif with very high stroke contrast and pronounced tapering into hairline terminals. Forms are built around smooth, rounded bowls and ellipses, paired with crisp wedge-like entry/exit strokes that create a calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase shapes are narrow and streamlined with clean counters, while the lowercase shows classic italic constructions (single-storey a, flowing e, and a looped g) that emphasize forward motion. Numerals are similarly contrasty and open, with elegant curves and thin horizontal details that reinforce a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where contrast and motion can carry the typography. It works naturally for magazine and fashion contexts, premium branding, packaging, and poster titles that benefit from a refined, high-impact italic voice.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, with a fashion-editorial feel and a sense of cultivated sophistication. Its energetic slant and knife-thin hairlines add theatricality, while the smooth curves keep it poised rather than ornate.
Likely intended as a high-contrast italic for expressive display typography, combining classical italic letterforms with a modern, polished finish. The design prioritizes elegance and visual drama, aiming to deliver a distinctive editorial signature.
Hairlines become extremely thin in joins and terminals, so the design reads most confidently at larger sizes or in high-quality reproduction. The italic angle and tapered strokes create strong directional flow, making spacing and line breaks visually noticeable in longer settings.
