A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines, dense verticals, and pronounced diagonal motion. The letterforms are generously wide with a slightly variable rhythm, mixing broad curves and sharp, blade-like terminals. Serifs are fine and pointed, often extended into small flicks, and many glyphs show calligraphic modulation with narrow joins and teardrop-like apertures. Numerals and capitals feel expansive and sculpted, while the lowercase stays compact with a comparatively small x-height and lively descenders.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and brand marks where high contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or deck text in refined layouts, especially when ample spacing and generous sizes preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, balancing refined sophistication with a hint of flourish. Its sharp contrast and italic energy suggest high-end print culture—fashion, literary, and classic editorial environments—where elegance and drama are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast italic serif: wide, sculptural forms with crisp hairlines and elegant terminals that create a premium, editorial-forward voice.
The font’s width and contrast create strong word shapes at display sizes, and the italic slant is consistent across cases. Several forms (notably in the lowercase and some capitals) include subtle swash-like terminals and tapered entry strokes that add personality, while maintaining a cohesive, formal structure.
