This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharply tapered serifs. Thick verticals and strong hairlines create a crisp, dramatic rhythm, with teardrop/ball-like terminals appearing on several glyphs. Uppercase forms feel relatively broad and display-oriented, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic construction with lively joins and curved entry/exit strokes. The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with compact curves and pointed finishing strokes that keep the color dense and assertive.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where a luxurious, high-impact voice is needed. It can work effectively for branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and event materials, especially when given enough size and spacing to preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic refinement with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. It reads as fashion-forward and premium, with a sense of speed and flourish from the steep italic angle and energetic terminals.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic serif for statement-setting—delivering elegance and drama through extreme stroke modulation, sharp serifs, and expressive terminal details.
In text, the strong contrast and tight internal details make the font feel most comfortable at larger sizes, where the hairlines and ball terminals remain clear. The italic posture is integral to the design rather than an afterthought, giving the entire set a unified, forward-leaning motion.
