A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, needle-like hairlines. The letterforms show a vertical stress and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm, with strong main strokes and delicately tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and clean rather than blocky, and many glyphs feature teardrop/ball-like terminals and small, energetic entry strokes. Proportions feel compact with tight internal counters and a lively, slightly springy baseline due to the italic construction.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and fine serifs can remain clear: magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, premium branding, posters, and packaging. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when given enough size and spacing, but the delicate details suggest avoiding dense body text or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is high-fashion and dramatic, projecting polish and refinement with a touch of theatrical flair. Its glossy contrast and swashy details read as upscale and expressive, suited to attention-grabbing typographic moments rather than quiet utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast italic with a couture, editorial voice—combining classical serif structure with expressive calligraphic terminals to create a striking, premium texture in headlines and logos.
Uppercase forms appear more restrained while lowercase introduces more personality through curled terminals and prominent dots, creating a strong hierarchy. Numerals maintain the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and pointed joins that keep the texture crisp in display settings.
