This italic serif shows extreme thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and broad, tapering main strokes that often flare into wedge-like endings. Letterforms lean with a lively, calligraphic rhythm, combining sharp terminals with smooth, sculpted curves and tight inner counters. The serifs feel integrated into the stroke flow rather than appended, giving capitals a chiseled, engraved presence and lowercase a swift, pen-driven momentum. Numerals mirror the same contrast and angled stress, with prominent curves and pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging where its contrast and sharp detailing can read clearly. It can also work for short, high-impact editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with generous leading and moderate tracking.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a sense of luxury and cultivated tradition. Its dramatic contrast and energetic slant read as expressive and stylish, suited to statement-making typography with an editorial edge.
The design appears intended to evoke a modern take on high-contrast, calligraphy-informed italics—pairing a classic serif foundation with flared, blade-like terminals to create a distinctive, luxe display voice.
The face maintains consistent contrast and angled stress across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong vertical–diagonal cadence in text. Delicate joins and hairline details suggest it will be most striking when given enough size and breathing room.
