A sculpted italic serif with striking thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The letterforms lean strongly forward and show a crisp, cut-paper silhouette: broad, wedge-like main strokes contrast with needle-thin connecting strokes and fine entry/exit flicks. Serifs are small and refined, often resolving into pointed beaks or tapered feet, while bowls and curves feel tightly drawn with high tension. The overall rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, with variable-looking widths and pronounced calligraphic shaping that reads best at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, and large-scale typography where its hairlines and tight joins won’t be lost. It can add a premium, fashion-forward voice to branding, beauty or spirits packaging, and event posters, especially when used with generous spacing and ample contrast against the background.
The font conveys a high-fashion, high-drama tone—sleek, glamorous, and slightly provocative. Its sharp hairlines and swashy finishes add a sense of theatrical flair, suggesting luxury branding and editorial voice rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended as a statement italic for display typography, combining classical high-contrast serif construction with more expressive, calligraphic swashes. It prioritizes visual impact and a couture-like texture over neutrality, aiming to deliver elegance with a bold, contemporary edge.
Uppercase forms present strong, emblematic silhouettes, while the lowercase introduces more cursive-like movement with notable curls and teardrop terminals in letters such as a, g, and y. Numerals echo the same contrast and slanted stance, with stylized curves and delicate joins that reinforce a cohesive, showy texture in words.
