A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered stems and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often ending in pointed, teardrop-like terminals that reinforce a calligraphic, written-with-a-pen feel. Uppercase forms are narrow and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and occasional swash behavior, creating an energetic rhythm. Figures follow the same contrast and oblique stress, with sculpted curves and crisp joins that read best at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine mastheads, feature headlines, and pull quotes where contrast and motion can be appreciated. It can add polish to branding and packaging—especially in beauty, fashion, hospitality, and cultural contexts—and works effectively for poster titles or event identities when paired with a quieter text face.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, projecting an editorial, couture sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fluent italic movement feel formal and expressive rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of luxury and performance to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive, calligraphic italic voice. Its exaggerated contrast, sharpened terminals, and subtly swashy lowercase suggest a focus on stylish display typography that remains recognizable and classical in structure.
The italic angle is assertive and consistent, and the stroke modulation creates strong sparkle in text. Curves and terminals are deliberately stylized (notably in letters like g, y, and z), which adds personality but can become busy in dense settings or at small sizes.
