A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, needle-like hairlines and weight concentrated in sweeping stressed strokes. The letters are noticeably right-leaning with a calligraphic flow, showing tapered joins and flared stroke endings that create pointed terminals rather than blunt cuts. Uppercase forms feel tall and elegant with crisp serifs and pronounced diagonals, while the lowercase has compact bowls and lively entry/exit strokes; counters remain open enough to keep the texture from collapsing. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with strong thick–thin transitions and elegantly curved spines.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other editorial moments where an italic voice is meant to lead. It also fits fashion, beauty, and luxury branding applications—wordmarks, packaging accents, and campaign typography—where high contrast and sharp finishing details can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—more couture magazine than utilitarian text. Its glossy contrast and crisp detailing suggest sophistication and confidence, with an expressive, slightly dramatic cadence typical of display italics used to add emphasis and allure.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic italic serif voice with modern crispness: dramatic thick–thin contrast, energetic slant, and flared terminals that feel both calligraphic and polished. It’s likely intended as an expressive display companion for refined typography systems rather than an all-purpose text workhorse.
Spacing reads intentionally airy in the grid, helping the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals stay clean. In running text, the combination of strong slant, high contrast, and flared endings creates a distinctive rhythm that rewards generous size and line spacing.
