This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes transition quickly from hairline connections to heavy main strokes, creating a crisp, sculpted rhythm. The letterforms lean with a lively, calligraphic flow and show subtly irregular, hand-informed curves—especially in the bowls and diagonals—while maintaining a consistent overall structure. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, while the lowercase has rounded joins and energetic entry/exit strokes that keep words moving forward.
This font is well-suited to headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, and premium branding where a dramatic italic serif can carry the visual identity. It performs especially well in large sizes for posters, covers, and packaging, where its sharp wedges and contrast can be appreciated without the hairlines getting lost.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, with a runway/editorial polish and a dramatic sense of motion. It reads as refined and upscale, yet intentionally showy—designed to attract attention through contrast, angle, and sharp detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a traditional italic serif: prioritizing expressive motion, glossy contrast, and crisp finishing details for high-impact display typography.
At text sizes the strong slant and thin hairlines emphasize texture and sparkle, while at larger sizes the crisp terminals and wedge serifs become a defining stylistic feature. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with tapered diagonals and distinctive curves, supporting display use alongside the letters.
