A display-oriented italic serif with sculpted, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into sharp terminals and bracketed serifs, with frequent wedge-like entry and exit strokes that create a lively, swept rhythm. Counters are compact and the joins feel ink-trap-like in places due to the heavy weight and tight apertures, while the overall silhouettes lean on broad curves and pointed beaks for momentum. Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curvy forms and crisp finishing cuts that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, display copy, and short emphatic phrases where its contrast and swash-like terminals can be appreciated. It works well for editorial titles, posters, book covers, and packaging that aims for a premium or dramatic impression, and can also serve as a bold accent in branding when used sparingly.
The tone is confident and theatrical, combining a fashion-editorial polish with a slightly vintage, showcard energy. Its sharp contrast and swashy terminals add drama and a sense of motion, making the text feel emphatic and expressive rather than neutral.
Likely designed to provide a high-impact italic serif for display settings, blending traditional serif structure with calligraphic motion. The goal appears to be strong visual presence and a luxurious, expressive rhythm rather than understated long-form readability.
In continuous text the strong diagonal stress and tight inner spaces create a dense, glossy texture; the face benefits from generous tracking and breathing room. The most distinctive character comes from its energetic terminals and wedge serifs, which add personality even in short words.
