A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines. Forms are wide and generously proportioned, with sharp, wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals that read as cut or chiseled. Many letters show subtle swash inflections—especially in the lowercase—with small teardrop/ball terminals and hooked entry strokes that add movement. Counters are open and the rhythm is lively, with a distinctly stylized, display-oriented texture rather than a quiet text face.
Best suited for large-scale settings such as headlines, editorial titles, posters, and brand marks where the high contrast and swashy details can be appreciated. It can work well on premium packaging or event materials where a luxurious, classic-yet-performative tone is desired.
The overall tone is glamorous and dramatic, combining classic Didone-like contrast with playful, showy calligraphic gestures. It feels suited to high-style, attention-grabbing typography that signals luxury and spectacle rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to modernize a high-contrast serif italic by amplifying width, contrast, and decorative terminals for maximum impact. It prioritizes expressive silhouette and editorial flair, aiming for memorable display typography with a refined, fashion-forward finish.
The italic slant is consistent and energetic, and the contrast is strong enough that fine strokes can visually shimmer at small sizes. Numerals follow the same expressive contrast and include curvy, decorative terminals that reinforce the font’s theatrical character.
