A sharply inclined serif italic with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in stance with lively, calligraphic movement, showing tapered entries, pointed terminals, and delicate serifs that often resolve into fine wedges. Curves are smooth and tensioned, counters stay relatively compact, and spacing feels airy due to the fine horizontals and thin joins. The overall rhythm is quick and elegant, with a distinctly high-fashion italic silhouette across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other display settings where its fine details can hold and the contrast can shine. It will also work for short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts, and for elegant branding applications such as beauty, lifestyle, and event stationery.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, reading as editorial and upscale rather than utilitarian. Its pronounced slant and high contrast give it a dramatic, expressive voice suited to refined, aspirational typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic, emphasizing refinement, speed, and visual drama. It prioritizes elegance and expressive stroke modulation for attention-grabbing typography in curated layouts.
Capitals show a formal, classical construction with sharp beak-like details and thin cross-strokes, while the lowercase leans more cursive in flavor, with flowing shoulders and tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, appearing graceful and display-oriented rather than rugged for dense tables.
