A sculpted italic serif with sweeping, calligraphic construction and sharply tapered joins. Strokes shift from needle-thin hairlines to heavy, rounded main strokes, with terminals that flare and finish in pointed, wedge-like ends rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are crisp and angled, often bracketed into the stems, and the overall texture alternates between dense black masses and fine slivers, creating a lively rhythm. Letterforms show noticeable slant, varied internal apertures, and slightly irregular stroke expansion that gives the design a hand-directed, engraved feel in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where its high-contrast italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for posters and packaging where a luxurious, editorial voice is desired, but will be most successful at larger sizes where the finest hairlines remain clear.
The tone is glamorous and high-drama, pairing old-world refinement with a contemporary fashion/editorial edge. It reads as confident and expressive, with a theatrical contrast that feels premium and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, fashion-forward italic serif that merges classic engraving-like contrast with modern, sculpted flaring terminals. Its exaggerated stroke modulation and sharp finishing details prioritize visual impact and sophistication in display typography.
The uppercase has strong, sculptural silhouettes and sharp extremities, while the lowercase maintains a flowing italic movement with energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, with prominent curves and thin hairline connections that reinforce the display character.
