A sculpted italic serif with sharp wedge-like serifs and very thin hairlines set against heavy, rounded main strokes. The forms show a calligraphic influence: entry and exit strokes taper to needle points, curves swell quickly, and terminals often finish in small hooked or teardrop shapes. Uppercase letters are compact and stately with pronounced diagonals and crisp joins, while lowercase features energetic movement, including a single-storey a and g and a looped, descending y. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and pointed joins that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to display work where its contrast and italic motion can shine: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and dramatic poster titling. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is luxe and theatrical, pairing classic sophistication with a hint of flamboyance. It evokes high-end editorial typography—confident, polished, and intentionally attention-grabbing—while still retaining a traditional serif backbone.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, classic-leaning italic for premium contexts, combining traditional serif structure with calligraphic flair to create distinctive word shapes and strong visual hierarchy.
Swash-like details appear in several lowercase letters (notably w, v, and z), giving word shapes a lively texture. The rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with crisp internal counters and pronounced stroke modulation that creates sparkle in display settings.
