A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation throughout. Serifs are sharply bracketed and often taper into fine points, with occasional teardrop and ball-like terminals that add a calligraphic finish. The proportions read generously set, with rounded bowls and a slightly sprung, energetic rhythm; curves transition crisply into thin hairlines, and joins are clean and sculpted. Numerals and capitals carry the same display-oriented contrast and italic stress, producing a cohesive, polished texture in larger settings.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and branded lockups where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads on packaging or event materials, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, combining classical serif cues with a showy italic flourish. It feels assertive and elegant rather than delicate, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a hint of vintage sophistication.
Likely designed as a statement serif italic that delivers immediate hierarchy and character, pairing classical high-contrast construction with decorative terminal treatments for modern editorial and branding use.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp hairlines create a lively sparkle and emphasize diagonal motion; the italic forms and swash-like terminals can make tight settings feel busy, while generous spacing helps preserve clarity. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same bold, ornamental energy, supporting expressive display composition.
