A high-contrast italic serif with a strong diagonal axis and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Thick vertical and main stems are paired with hairline joins and sharply tapered terminals, giving the letterforms a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are refined and mostly bracketed, with pointed beak-like accents on several capitals and energetic entry/exit strokes on lowercase. Proportions skew broad with generous curves and a steady, formal rhythm, while the numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, stately presence.
Best used for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-impact editorial pull quotes. It can work for short passages when set large with comfortable leading, but the pronounced contrast and italic motion make it most effective where personality and hierarchy are the goal.
The overall tone is glamorous and editorial, combining classical refinement with a sense of speed and flourish. Its sharp contrast and italic energy read as confident, theatrical, and premium—well suited to styling that aims for elegance with attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a traditional high-contrast serif italic—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and expressive motion for impactful display settings.
The italic construction is emphatic rather than subtle, with noticeable swash-like terminals on letters such as a, f, g, and y and a particularly expressive Q. In longer text the strong contrast produces a lively texture, so spacing and size will influence whether it reads as luxurious sparkle or intense drama.
