A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and bold, tapered main strokes that create a crisp, sparkling rhythm. Serifs read as flared and calligraphic rather than bracketed slabs, with many joins thinning into needle-like terminals. The overall geometry is elegant and slightly condensed in feel, with lively oblique stress and a pronounced diagonal slant. Lowercase forms show a traditional italic construction (single-story a, flowing f, and a curved, open g), while capitals are sharp and statuesque with delicate entry strokes and sweeping curves.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and elegant campaign work where its contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes, deck text, and short, high-impact phrases in layouts that favor a refined, editorial voice.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical, pairing a classic bookish heritage with the glamour of modern editorial typography. Its extreme contrast and brisk italic movement convey luxury, speed, and confidence, making it feel expressive and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary high-contrast italic for expressive display use, capturing the dynamism of calligraphic writing while keeping a polished, modern editorial finish.
At larger sizes the hairlines read especially crisp and the flared endings add a distinctive, carved quality. In longer settings the contrast and tight internal hairlines make spacing and reproduction conditions more noticeable, so it tends to shine most when given enough size and clean output.
