A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharply tapered hairlines. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with rounded joins and smooth transitions between thick and thin. Counters are open and oval, terminals are often teardrop-like, and many serifs feel integrated into the stroke as subtle wedges rather than flat slabs. Proportions read as generous and slightly expanded, giving the alphabet a confident, display-forward presence.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, product packaging, and poster typography where contrast and italic movement can take center stage. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with an upscale, editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping curves convey elegance and momentum, while the sculpted serifs add a tailored, boutique feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on an italic serif—combining calligraphic motion with sculpted, flared finishing to create a distinctive, premium display voice.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same energetic contrast and italic flow, with lively curves and distinctive diagonals that emphasize motion. The texture in text is bold and rhythmic, producing strong vertical emphasis from the thick strokes while keeping a crisp, refined sparkle from the thin connections.
