A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline detailing. Strokes taper to needle-like terminals, with crisp, bracketed serifs and a generally calligraphic construction that emphasizes diagonal movement. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow in their internal spaces, while the lowercase shows more fluidity through long entry strokes, looping or hooked descenders, and generous italic joins. Numerals follow the same display-oriented logic, with thin diagonals and sculpted curves that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and refined branding where high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and on high-quality output, but its fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small settings or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, leaning toward editorial sophistication and runway-style drama. Its brisk, angled rhythm and sharp hairlines give it a poised, expressive voice suited to tasteful emphasis rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver a modern, fashion-forward interpretation of an italic text serif, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and calligraphic motion. The intention appears to be creating a distinctive voice for premium typography—expressive enough for display use while retaining familiar serif proportions for editorial contexts.
Letterforms show noticeable sparkle from the alternating heavy stems and hairline connections, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The more ornate lowercase details (notably in letters with descenders and the italic f-like forms) contribute to a distinctly expressive texture in continuous text.
