An italic serif with sharply tapered entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The serifs read as flared, with stems swelling into wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs, and many joins show soft bracketing that keeps the contrast elegant rather than brittle. Capitals are wide and sculptural with strong diagonals and pointed apexes, while lowercase forms lean with a lively, calligraphic rhythm; round letters have tight, glossy counters and angled stress. Figures are similarly stylized, with curving forms and tapered ends that match the italic flow and give numerals a display-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine-style layouts, and brand marks where an italic serif can carry personality and prestige. It can also work well for packaging and poster typography, especially when paired with a calmer companion for supporting text.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, evoking high-end editorial typography and classic luxury branding. Its strong slant and sharp terminals add momentum and flair, while the refined contrast signals formality and polish.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, fashion-oriented italic voice: high-contrast forms, flared terminals, and calligraphic movement that read as premium and expressive at display sizes.
The face favors sweeping curves and acute terminals, creating distinctive silhouettes in letters like Q, R, S, and the diagonal-heavy capitals. In text, the italic energy is constant and the rhythm feels intentionally expressive, which can make it more attention-grabbing than neutral for long passages.
