This serif italic shows a steep rightward slant with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes taper into needle-like terminals and wedge joins, creating a refined, high-tension rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with narrow bowls and tight internal counters, while curves in characters like C, S, and g show smooth, calligraphic swelling and sharp thinning. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with angled stress and delicate finishing details that keep the texture lively in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and italic momentum can be appreciated. It works well for fashion/editorial design, premium branding, and upscale packaging, and can add a refined, dramatic accent when paired with a quieter text face.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—more runway and magazine masthead than everyday book text. Its sharp contrast and sculpted italic movement suggest sophistication and luxury, with a slightly dramatic, expressive edge that reads as intentional and curated.
The design appears intended as an expressive, contrast-forward serif italic that prioritizes elegance, speed, and visual sparkle. Its narrow, sculpted forms and hairline detailing point to use in curated display typography and brand-led compositions rather than long-form reading.
The uppercase set feels stately and controlled, while the lowercase introduces more flourish in descenders and entry strokes, adding motion in continuous text. At smaller sizes, the finest hairlines and tight apertures are likely to require generous sizing and careful reproduction to preserve the intended elegance.
