A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and crisp, knife-like serifs. Thick main strokes are paired with extremely fine hairlines and pointed terminals, creating a bright, sparkling texture at display sizes. The forms show a calligraphic influence: curves are lively, joins are tight, and several letters feature subtle swash-like flicks and hooked terminals. Proportions lean broad with generous uppercase width, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm and clear differentiation between bowls, stems, and entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand statements where the contrast and italic energy can read large and clean. It can elevate fashion, beauty, hospitality, and premium product packaging, and works well for short subheads or titling when generous spacing and sizes are used.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, with a couture, magazine-ready sophistication. Its sharp contrasts and animated italics feel expressive and slightly flamboyant, lending a sense of luxury and drama rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a statement italic serif that merges modern high-contrast structure with calligraphic flourish. It aims to deliver a luxurious, high-impact look with distinctive, stylized terminals for memorable display typography.
The capitals project strong presence with sculpted diagonals and tapered finishing strokes, while distinctive details (such as the ornate Q and lively lowercase endings) add personality. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic momentum, with curled terminals and a display-oriented stance that prioritizes style over restraint.
