A dynamic serif italic with steep angle and striking thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a calligraphic, pen-like logic: hairlines are extremely fine, curves swell into heavy diagonals, and many terminals taper to sharp points. Serifs feel bracketed and subtly flared rather than blunt, with crisp joins and pronounced entry/exit strokes that create a lively, sweeping rhythm. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with energetic, angled stress, giving the text a sculpted, high-impact texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short blocks of text where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work well for luxury branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a refined yet dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic sophistication with a distinctly fashion-forward attitude. It reads as confident and expressive, with a sense of motion and flourish that feels premium and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant, high-fashion italic with strong calligraphic character and sharp, flared finishing. The emphasis appears to be on impact and sophistication in display contexts, pairing traditional serif cues with an energetic, contemporary rhythm.
At larger sizes the hairline details and pointed terminals add sparkle and refinement; in denser settings the intense contrast and italic slant make it feel emphatic and display-led. The numeral set matches the same high-contrast, calligraphic rhythm, supporting cohesive editorial typography.
