A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered entry and exit strokes. Stems swell to weighty verticals while hairlines stay extremely fine, creating sharp modulation and a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into wedges, with frequent teardrop/ball terminals and occasional swashy inflections that enliven counters and joins. Proportions feel generously wide with ample sidebearing, and the figures and capitals carry strong, sculpted weight that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium runs where the contrast and italic momentum can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and editorial branding, fashion and luxury packaging, book covers, and poster typography, especially when set with generous leading and careful spacing.
The overall tone is theatrical and refined, pairing old-style elegance with bold, attention-grabbing contrast. It suggests an editorial, fashion-forward mood—confident and slightly flamboyant—while still staying rooted in classical serif conventions.
The design appears intended as a statement italic for display typography, combining conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and decorative terminals to deliver impact and sophistication in branding and editorial settings.
The italic construction is emphasized throughout, with energetic diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and a notably expressive lowercase that includes pronounced terminals and a distinctive, decorative feel in forms such as g, y, and z. Numerals are similarly stylized, with curving strokes and sharp transitions that reinforce the dramatic contrast.
