This serif italic shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel cut and controlled rather than blunt. The letters are generously proportioned with a noticeably wide set and energetic slant, while curves and joins stay smooth and polished. Several forms feature subtle swash-like entry and exit strokes (especially in lowercase), giving the texture a flowing rhythm without becoming fully script. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled logic, with sculpted bowls and angled stress that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best used for headlines, pull quotes, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and italic energy can shine. It also suits fashion and lifestyle branding, campaign posters, and cover typography that benefits from a refined yet assertive voice.
The overall tone is glamorous and high-drama, combining classical italic elegance with a modern, fashion-forward punch. It feels confident and theatrical, suited to headlines that want sophistication with motion and personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif-italic foundation with heightened contrast and swash-inflected details for expressive display typography. It aims to balance tradition and sophistication with a contemporary, attention-grabbing presence.
In text settings, the strong contrast and wide letterforms create a bold, cinematic color on the page, with distinctive italic shapes (notably in a, f, g, y, and z) adding character. The design favors display clarity and expressive rhythm over quiet, small-size neutrality.
