A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs read as fine, wedge-like and often asymmetric, with crisp entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that give many forms a blade-like finish. Proportions feel classical yet lively: rounded letters show tight, high-contrast bowls, while diagonals and joins (notably in V/W/X and the lowercase) carry energetic, sculpted transitions. Numerals mirror the italic flow with elegant curves and narrow apertures, maintaining consistent contrast and a refined, glossy texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where the high-contrast italic character can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and campaign/poster typography. It can work for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts, especially when ample size and spacing preserve the sharp details.
The overall tone is glamorous and high-drama, balancing traditional serif sophistication with a modern, fashion-oriented flair. Its steep italic angle and sharp detailing create a sense of speed, confidence, and polish, lending a premium, boutique editorial mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, attention-grabbing serif voice with strong editorial presence—combining classical serif structures with a modern, sharply cut italic expression for premium branding and headline use.
In continuous text the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a sparkling, high-ink-trap look at larger sizes, while the tight counters and active stroke endings keep the word shapes animated. The italic construction is assertive enough to function as a primary display voice rather than just an accompaniment style.
