A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes taper into fine hairlines, with crisp, wedge-like terminals and lightly bracketed serifs that feel cut rather than rounded. The letterforms are wide and energetic, with strong rightward slant, open counters, and a rhythmic, brush-like swelling through curves and joins. Numerals and capitals carry the same sculpted contrast and angled stress, giving the whole set a lively, high-end sheen.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, and premium packaging where a refined italic voice is desired. It can work for short introductions or pull quotes, but its dramatic contrast and strong slant favor larger sizes and carefully set text over dense, continuous reading.
The overall tone is luxurious and fashion-forward, projecting drama through contrast while remaining polished and controlled. Its slanted, calligraphic movement adds a sense of speed and flair, making text feel editorial and upscale rather than purely bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial interpretation of an italic serif, emphasizing high-contrast calligraphic motion and wide, elegant proportions for maximum visual impact in display settings.
In the text sample, the steep italic angle and narrow hairlines create a distinctive texture that reads best with generous sizing and spacing. The design’s pointed joins and crisp terminals make it especially striking in short bursts, where the contrast and slant can be appreciated without overwhelming the line.
