A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and tapered terminals that echo broad-nib calligraphy. Serifs are sharply defined and often wedge-like, with a mix of crisp points and softly bracketed joins that keep curves fluid. The slant is assertive and consistent, and many strokes end in delicate hairlines that give counters and bowls a glossy, sculpted feel. Overall proportions read classical, while stroke modulation and occasional swash-like forms add a lively, display-leaning rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and branding where its high contrast and strong slant can be appreciated at larger sizes. It performs well in magazine-style layouts, fashion and beauty collateral, and event or cultural posters where a refined italic voice is desired.
The tone is polished and theatrical—luxurious in its contrast and energetic in its italic movement. It suggests couture/editorial sophistication with a hint of vintage flair, making text feel ceremonious and attention-grabbing rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation infused with expressive italic calligraphy—prioritizing elegance and visual impact through extreme modulation, sharp detailing, and a dynamic rhythm.
Spacing appears slightly irregular in a deliberate, organic way, with some letters taking more visual room due to strong diagonals and extended entry/exit strokes. Numerals and capitals carry the same dramatic modulation, helping headings feel cohesive across mixed-case and figures.
