A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are pointed and often beak-like, with a calligraphic feel that shows in the angled stress and crisp, wedgey terminals. Curves are full and glossy, counters stay open, and joins create a lively rhythm across words. Capitals read as compact, chiselled forms with assertive entry strokes, while lowercase shows energetic descenders and occasional swash-like details in letters such as f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, using curled terminals and angled cuts to maintain a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short text in magazines or promotional layouts where its contrast and motion can be appreciated. It can also support branding, packaging, and event/poster typography that benefits from a refined yet expressive serif voice; for long body copy, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and animated italic movement create a confident, slightly flamboyant voice suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as an expressive italic serif that merges classic text-serif structure with display-oriented contrast and calligraphic detailing, aiming to deliver elegance with strong visual impact.
Stroke modulation is pronounced, so spacing and color shift noticeably from character to character, producing a lively, handcrafted impression. The italic angle is consistent, and the design relies on pointed terminals and diagonal cuts to keep forms crisp at larger sizes.
