A high-contrast italic serif with sweeping, calligraphic modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes transition quickly between hairlines and thick diagonals, with flared, wedge-like serifs and crisp entry/exit strokes that give letters a carved, blade-like finish. The overall rhythm is lively and slanted, with compact joins, tight apertures in places, and slightly varying glyph widths that create a flowing, text-like color despite the strong contrast.
Best suited to display roles where its contrast and hairlines can breathe—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, pull quotes, and upscale packaging. It can work for short text in larger sizes, but the thin strokes suggest using generous size and careful reproduction for best clarity.
The tone is refined and dramatic, balancing old-style sophistication with a modern fashion sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and energetic slant convey speed and polish, while the serif detailing adds a cultured, literary feel.
Designed to deliver a sophisticated italic voice with strong calligraphic flavor and a high-fashion edge. The emphasis appears to be on expressive shapes, sharp finishing details, and a refined silhouette for prominent, attention-getting typography.
Uppercase forms read as formal and sculptural, while the lowercase leans more cursive, with pronounced italic construction (notably in forms like a, f, g, and y). Numerals follow the same contrast and italic angle, with elegant curves and pointed terminals that reinforce the crisp, editorial character.
