A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a carved, calligraphic finish. The design shows a pronounced diagonal stress, with thin hairlines and strong verticals creating a crisp rhythm. Letterforms are compact and upright in footprint, with narrow sidebearings and lively curves; joins and serifs are finely bracketed rather than blocky. The italic construction is assertive, with energetic entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like flicks on letters such as J, Q, and y, producing a distinctly dynamic texture in text.
Best suited to display typography—magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, premium branding, and poster or title treatments where contrast and slant can shine. It can also work for short, carefully set pull quotes or subheads, especially in spacious layouts that preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, balancing classical bookish authority with a fashionable, contemporary sharpness. Its brisk slant and cutting hairlines lend a sense of motion and flair, suggesting luxury, culture, and confident editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a sharp, stylish italic voice with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic—prioritizing elegance and impact over neutrality. Its compact proportions and high contrast suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial and branding applications where a refined, dramatic texture is desirable.
In larger sizes the razor-thin horizontals and pointed terminals read as intentionally crisp and stylish, while the narrow proportions help keep headlines compact. The figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curvy forms (notably 2, 3, 5, and 8) that echo the letterforms’ sweeping modulation.
