A high-contrast serif with a distinctly italic, calligraphic construction. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel slightly flared at the ends. Curves are smooth and sculpted, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is lively, with angled stress and a forward-leaning posture that creates a continuous, flowing texture in text. Uppercase forms appear tall and statuesque, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with elegant ascenders and descenders and a slightly varying set width across letters.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, editorial decks, brand marks, and premium packaging where contrast and italic energy can read clearly. It can also work for short-form text (captions, quotes, intros) when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a touch of classic sophistication. Its sharp contrast and brisk italic motion add drama and sense of speed, making it feel expressive without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, fashion-forward italic serif that combines classical calligraphic stress with clean, high-contrast finishing. It emphasizes elegant movement and sharp refinement to create strong hierarchy and a premium feel in layouts.
Serifs and terminals frequently resolve into pointed, knife-like finishes, giving the face a crisp silhouette at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled logic as the letters, helping headings and pull quotes maintain a unified voice.
