A right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline joins, giving letters a carved, glossy look. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with noticeable bracketing, and many terminals taper into pointed, teardrop forms that reinforce a calligraphic rhythm. The lowercase is compact with rounded bowls and energetic entry/exit strokes, while capitals feel sculptural and slightly flamboyant, with strong diagonals and crisp apexes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized structure, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine, slicing details.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and cultural editorial, and statement typography where contrast and flair are assets. It can also work for premium packaging, event materials, and branding that wants a classic serif base with a more dramatic, stylized voice.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, combining classic serif authority with a fashion-forward, high-drama slant. It reads as elegant and showy rather than quiet, with a sense of motion and spectacle suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to merge conventional serif structure with a more expressive, calligraphy-informed italic, creating a bold display serif that feels luxurious and energetic. Its sharpened serifs and tapered terminals aim to deliver impact and sophistication in short runs of text.
In text settings the heavy forms and sharp hairlines create a lively texture with strong word shapes, but the fine connections and pointed terminals suggest it will shine best when given enough size and spacing to preserve detail. The ampersand and lowercase forms add a distinctly decorative, swashy flavor without becoming fully script-like.
