A high-contrast serif italic with a steep rightward slant and finely tapered hairlines. The design shows sculpted, wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals that often end in teardrop or blade shapes, giving letters a cut-paper crispness. Curves are narrow and tightly drawn, with stressed bowls and lively entry/exit strokes that read as calligraphy translated into a formal serif structure. Spacing and rhythm feel energetic rather than text-neutral, with distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic shapes across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and brand marks that need a distinctive italic voice. It can also work for short pull quotes, titles, and premium packaging where high contrast and sharp detailing will reproduce cleanly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, with a couture/editorial presence that feels refined yet attention-seeking. Its sharp contrast and swashy terminals lend a sense of drama and performance, making it feel suited to bold, image-led typography rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, editorial italic serif with strong calligraphic cues—prioritizing style, motion, and distinctive silhouettes over subdued text economy.
The numerals and several lowercase forms use pronounced hooks and flicks that increase personality and motion, especially at large sizes. In continuous text, the combination of steep italic angle and hairline connections creates a shimmering texture, so it benefits from generous size and careful tracking.
