A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are crisp and pointed with a subtly flared, chiseled feel at stroke terminals, giving letters a carved, dynamic finish rather than blunt endings. The rhythm is energetic and right-leaning, with narrow joins, taut curves, and a noticeable interplay of thick swells and razor-thin connections that reads cleanly at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact, while lowercase shows a traditional italic construction with teardrop-like terminals and a measured, moderate x-height.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and pull quotes where contrast and gesture can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads and titling, especially when generous size and line spacing help preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, leaning toward luxury and high-style editorial typography. Its calligraphic energy and sharp contrast create a sense of sophistication and formality, with a slightly theatrical flair that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and sculptural terminals, balancing traditional letterform heritage with a sharper, more contemporary editorial edge.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with distinctive curves and pointed terminals that keep the set cohesive. Spacing in the sample text appears built for display settings, where the strong diagonal stress and thin linking strokes remain crisp and expressive.
