This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in smooth, swelling stems and curves. Serifs are fine and pointed with a calligraphic feel, often forming small beak-like terminals and crisp entry/exit strokes. The italic construction is pronounced, with lively diagonals, narrow apertures, and a rhythmic, slightly variable texture across letterforms. Capitals are graceful and sculptural, while the lowercase shows energetic joins and angled stress that reads distinctly in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-form editorial settings where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, packaging, and event materials, and can work for elegant titling when paired with a calmer text companion.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, with a dramatic, luxurious sheen typical of editorial typography. Its sharp hairlines and flowing italic movement convey sophistication and a sense of curated refinement, leaning more expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. Its calligraphic terminals and sculpted curves suggest a focus on expressive display typography that still maintains a conventional serif structure for readable, polished setting.
Spacing and contours create a shimmering pattern in text, with strong thick–thin transitions that reward generous size and clean printing. The numerals match the italic, high-contrast voice, and several forms (notably in curvier letters) use pointed terminals that heighten the sense of motion.
