A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction: thick, sculpted main strokes are paired with hairline serifs and razor-thin connecting strokes. The letterforms lean decisively, with narrow joins and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a crisp, glossy rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than bracketed, and many terminals end in sharp beaks or flicks, giving the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Counters are relatively compact, and the overall color alternates between dense black stems and delicate hairlines for a dramatic texture in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where high contrast can be a feature. It also works well for invitations, event collateral, and short passages of display text; for comfortable reading, it will typically benefit from larger sizes and generous spacing.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking luxury editorial typography and classic high-fashion lettering. Its strong contrast and energetic slant add drama and a sense of forward motion, while the traditional serif model keeps it formal and cultured.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end interpretation of traditional italic serifs, prioritizing drama, polish, and typographic finesse. Its contrast, sharp serifs, and animated terminals suggest a focus on impactful display use while remaining compatible with conventional text settings in moderation.
Capitals read as stately and sculptural, while the lowercase shows more fluidity with teardrop/ball-like details in places and lively, tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and feel display-oriented, with several figures showing pronounced curves and sharp finishing strokes that emphasize elegance over neutrality.
