A bold, high-contrast italic serif with strongly tapered strokes and crisp, wedge-like serifs. The forms lean assertively with energetic entry and exit strokes, producing a lively rhythm across words. Curves are generous and rounded, while terminals frequently finish in sharp points or teardrop-like ends, creating a distinctly engraved, display-oriented texture. Capitals show broad, sculpted proportions and pronounced contrast, and the numerals echo the same sweeping italic motion with decorative curves and angled stress.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It works well for magazine design, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and statement typographic posters where a classic-but-dramatic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is theatrical and refined, pairing classic serif dignity with a confident, fashion-forward slant. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast feel luxurious and attention-grabbing, lending a sense of prestige and editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif italic for display typography, combining traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and expressive terminals to create a distinctive editorial signature.
The italic construction is consistently applied across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with several characters showing expressive, slightly calligraphic joins and terminals. At larger sizes the contrast and sculpted details read as intentional ornament; at smaller sizes the thin hairlines and pointed terminals may become visually delicate.
