A sharply italic serif with strong calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and diagonals resolve into wedge-like, subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs, creating a lively, sculpted texture rather than blunt endings. The letterforms are compact and energetic, with pointed apexes, tight internal counters in places, and crisp, slightly angular curves that keep the rhythm taut. Numerals and capitals carry the same slanted, high-contrast logic, producing a cohesive, display-leaning voice.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and campaign typography. It can also serve as a distinctive brand voice for luxury, beauty, or cultural packaging and identity work, especially when used at medium to large sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, balancing old-style refinement with a modern, fashion-forward bite. Its steep slant, sharp details, and glossy contrast read as premium and attention-seeking, with a hint of vintage editorial glamour.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-contrast italic serif with flared, wedge-like endings that feel both classic and fashion-oriented. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and sharp detailing for impactful typography rather than neutral, long-form texture.
In text lines the font creates a strong forward motion and a dense, high-impact color; the italic emphasis is constant rather than occasional. Small interior joins and narrowed apertures can become visually tight at smaller sizes, while the distinctive terminals and contrast become especially striking when given room.
