A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and assertive thick strokes that end in subtly flared, wedge-like terminals. The rhythm is lively and forward-leaning, with pointed apexes, crisp joins, and a sculpted, calligraphic modulation that feels drawn rather than purely geometric. Letterforms show generous curves and narrow internal counters in places, while capitals present a poised, display-ready stance with clean serifs and occasional sweeping strokes (notably in forms like Q and the numerals). Overall spacing reads balanced for display sizing, with a smooth diagonal flow across words.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand expressions where elegance and contrast are assets. It can shine in packaging, invitations, and poster work, especially when set with ample leading and moderate tracking to let the hairlines and flared terminals stay crisp.
The font projects a polished, fashion-forward tone—dramatic yet controlled—suited to sophisticated, high-end communication. Its energetic slant and sparkling contrast add theatricality, while the refined terminals keep the impression premium and cultivated.
The design appears intended as a statement italic for upscale display typography, combining classic serif proportions with pronounced calligraphic modulation and flared endings to maximize glamour and movement on the page.
In text, the italic angle and strong thick–thin transitions create an animated texture that draws attention to word shapes. Numerals echo the same calligraphic tension, mixing firm vertical weight with hairline curves for an expressive, editorial feel.
