A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic, engraved feel. Thick strokes are broad and weighty while hairlines taper to razor-thin points, creating a lively sparkle across text. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often extending into delicate, blade-thin terminals and occasional swashy joins, giving many letters a slightly sculpted, ribboned appearance. The curves are generous and the counters stay open, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes show strong modulation that emphasizes the italic rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, luxury branding, invitations, and poster typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or section titles, but the extreme hairlines and decorative joins suggest using it at comfortable sizes and with breathing room.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, balancing classical refinement with a flamboyant, showpiece energy. Its contrast and swashy detailing read as couture and headline-forward, lending a sense of drama and high-end polish.
The design appears aimed at an elegant, attention-grabbing italic serif that evokes modern Didone-style fashion typography while adding extra flourish through swashy terminals and crisp wedge serifs. It prioritizes personality and silhouette over neutral text regularity, making it a strong choice for expressive, premium-facing typography.
Uppercase forms feel stately and display-oriented, with several letters showing long, tapered strokes that can create distinctive silhouettes in wordmarks. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized pattern, with crisp terminals that keep them visually consistent alongside caps and lowercase.
