An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a crisp, chiseled finish. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant, narrow joining points, and tapered strokes that culminate in fine, pointed serifs and wedge-like terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with occasional flamboyant details—such as extended entry strokes and subtle swashes—most evident in capitals like Q and in the rhythm of the lowercase. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, stylized logic, keeping a consistent, polished texture in display settings.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, fashion branding, poster titles, and premium invitations where high contrast and italic flourish can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the fine hairlines and sharp terminals suggest giving it adequate scale and spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, evoking couture editorial typography and classic bookish refinement at the same time. Its sharp contrast and italic momentum feel energetic and luxurious, leaning more toward headline drama than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a refined, high-impact italic serif that combines classical proportions with decorative, calligraphic inflection. Its goal seems to be delivering elegance and authority with a distinctly expressive, boutique character for standout typographic moments.
In continuous text the face creates a lively, shimmering texture due to the extreme contrast and angled stress. Capitals read especially ornamental and assertive, while the lowercase maintains a more text-like skeleton with expressive terminals that add personality and motion.
