A refined italic serif with sweeping, calligraphic construction and crisp wedge-like terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, sculpted joins, while the counters stay open and clean for a polished rhythm. Distinct stencil-like interruptions appear as deliberate gaps within curves and stems, creating bridges that feel integrated rather than incidental. Capitals are tall and poised with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), and the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous slant with lively entry/exit strokes and compact, tapered serifs.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine and lookbook typography, and premium branding. It can also work well on packaging and promotional materials where a distinctive italic voice and the stencil detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, combining classic italic elegance with a contemporary, cut-out edge. The stencil breaks add a sense of craft and exclusivity, giving the face a dramatic, editorial presence without becoming rough or industrial.
The design appears intended to merge a high-fashion italic serif silhouette with a controlled stencil mechanism, producing a recognizable signature for display typography. It prioritizes elegance, motion, and sharp detail while using the breaks to differentiate the letterforms and add visual intrigue.
The numerals and round letters emphasize teardrop-like thick spots and razor-thin hairlines, which heightens the sense of motion in text. The stencil gaps are consistently applied across rounds and key diagonals, making the effect feel systematic and intentional rather than decorative only on a few glyphs.
