A slanted serif with a calligraphic, high-contrast construction and a distinctly sculpted stroke profile. Stems and joins show pronounced swelling and tapering, with flared, bracket-like endings that read as refined serifs rather than blunt terminals. Curves are taut and slightly angular, giving bowls and rounds a crisp, controlled snap, while diagonals feel energetic and forward-leaning. Proportions are moderately wide with lively spacing, and the lowercase shows an italic rhythm with expressive entry/exit strokes and compact counters that keep the texture dense and emphatic.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, deck text, and short display copy where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It fits editorial layouts, magazine covers, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging, especially where a dramatic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, combining classic serif sophistication with a fashion-forward, contemporary edge. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic movement convey confidence and drama, making text feel curated, premium, and intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a high-fashion italic serif statement with calligraphic flair and sharp contrast, prioritizing presence and elegance over neutrality. Its flared endings and sculpted strokes suggest an intention to evoke heritage serif cues while staying bold and contemporary for display use.
The design maintains strong consistency in contrast and flare behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a glossy, high-impact page color. Numerals follow the same italic, tapered logic, which helps headlines and pull-quotes feel cohesive when mixing text and numbers.
