A decorative italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered wedge-like serifs. Strokes flow with a consistent rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, showing teardrop/ball terminals and occasional swash-like entry strokes on capitals. The proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with generous counters and a lively baseline feel; several letters feature distinctive sculpted joins and pointed terminals that give the design a carved, display-oriented presence. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same energetic contrast and angled stress, with a mix of rounded forms and sharp cuts that keeps texture varied but cohesive.
This face is best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book or album covers, packaging, and brand marks where its sculpted italic forms can be appreciated. It works well for short-to-medium text runs in pull quotes or section headers, but its strong contrast and decorative terminals suggest avoiding very small sizes or dense body copy.
The overall tone is theatrical and vintage-leaning, with a dramatic, slightly mischievous flair. Its high-fashion contrast and swashy details evoke classic editorial titling and ornate signage rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, old-style elegance with a distinctly decorative twist—combining classic serif structure with calligraphic movement and swash-like details to create memorable, attention-grabbing typography.
Capital forms are especially expressive, with prominent leading strokes and strong internal contrast that create standout silhouettes. In longer lines the texture reads dark and rhythmic, and the italic angle plus sharp terminals add momentum that suits short phrases and emphatic typographic moments.
