A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The letterforms lean decisively with a lively, calligraphic rhythm, combining broad, weighty main strokes with hairline joins and terminals. Serifs are pointed and often slightly curved or bracketed, giving corners a refined bite while keeping joins smooth. Counters are compact and the overall color is strong, with punctuation and numerals matching the same elegant stress and crisp finishing.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated: headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and fashion or lifestyle branding. It can also work for premium packaging or event materials where a classic serif italic needs extra impact, but it will be most comfortable at display sizes rather than dense small text.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, projecting a polished, editorial voice. Its sweeping italic energy and razor-thin highlights read as stylish and premium, with a touch of vintage romance rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a conventional serif italic—prioritizing contrast, elegance, and expressive movement while maintaining a recognizably traditional serif structure.
Capitals show a strong engraved-like presence with crisp entry strokes, while lowercase forms carry more fluidity and occasional swash-like terminals (notably in letters such as f, g, y). Numerals are similarly sculpted, with curving forms and sharp wedge-like details that emphasize the font’s dramatic contrast.
