This is a sharply contrasted italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and strong vertical stress. Thick stems and bowls are paired with extremely fine hairlines, producing crisp, high-definition transitions and a bright rhythm across words. Serifs are thin and pointed with minimal bracketing, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals. Counters are compact and the overall texture is sleek and tight, with italic forms that feel deliberately sculpted rather than casually handwritten.
It performs best at display sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clean and intentional—such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, campaign posters, and upscale invitations. In longer text or small sizes, the extreme contrast and delicate strokes are more likely to demand generous sizing and careful printing or rendering conditions.
The tone is polished and high-fashion, projecting elegance and drama through its hairline detailing and steep italic energy. It reads as confident and luxurious, with a slightly theatrical flair suited to premium or expressive settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast italic voice for premium editorial and branding work, emphasizing refined silhouette, sharp detailing, and dynamic movement across a line.
Uppercase italics show strong, sweeping diagonals and sharp entry/exit strokes, while lowercase includes several more fluid, cursive-leaning shapes with occasional swash-like terminals. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic angle, creating a cohesive, display-oriented texture when set in sequences.
