A high-contrast italic serif with a steep rightward slant, razor-thin hairlines, and swollen main strokes that create a sharp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed, with minimal bracketing and a clean, polished finish. Curves and joins show a calligraphic logic—thin entry/exit strokes, tapered terminals, and occasional swash-like movement—especially in the lowercase, where descenders and tails add momentum. Uppercase forms feel statuesque and slightly condensed in impression, with lively diagonals and crisp internal counters.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and slant can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can add polish to premium packaging, invitations, and campaign graphics, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing to keep hairlines clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a dramatic, couture-like sparkle from the extreme contrast and brisk italic energy. It reads as classic and cultivated rather than casual, projecting sophistication and a touch of theatrical flair.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic italic refinement: maximize contrast and calligraphic motion for impact while keeping letterforms disciplined enough for polished display typography.
The lowercase shows pronounced movement in letters like a, f, g, j, y, and z, where curved terminals and elongated descenders add ornament without becoming fully script-like. Numerals follow the same contrast model and include noticeable curves and angled finishing strokes, helping them harmonize with text in display settings.
