A high-contrast serif italic with a brisk forward slant and a distinctly sculpted, flared stroke treatment. Thick verticals and hairline connections create sharp internal tension, while terminals often widen or sweep into wedge-like endings rather than finishing as uniform slabs. Serifs are fine and incisive, with pointed joins and tapered exits that give the contours a carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions are relatively compact, with narrow letterforms and tight apertures in places, producing a lively, energetic rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural/editorial layouts, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers where a refined but emphatic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining luxury-editorial elegance with a slightly edgy, high-fashion bite. Its sharp contrast and sweeping terminals read as confident and theatrical, making text feel curated and premium rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic-first, editorial personality that blends classical serif structure with expressive, flared calligraphic cues. It prioritizes style, contrast, and dynamic word shapes to create impact and sophistication in display typography.
Capitals show pronounced italic dynamics and asymmetric detailing, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, flowing stress that helps text lock into a strong diagonal texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and flared finishing, with open, stylish curves and crisp hairline transitions that visually align with the letterforms.
