A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and flared stroke endings that give stems a carved, blade-cut feel. Curves are taut and slightly angular, with crisp joins and pronounced thick–thin transitions that create a bold, graphic rhythm. Many glyphs show pointed entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like kicks (notably in lowercase), while counters remain relatively open for the style. Uppercase forms read stately and formal, and the figures match the same sharp, tapered construction for a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and gesture can carry the message: magazine headlines, fashion or beauty editorials, posters, and brand marks. It can also work well for premium packaging and event materials where a refined but assertive italic presence is desired.
The overall tone is glamorous and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and slanted calligraphic energy feel theatrical and confident, leaning toward luxurious and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, high-fashion italic voice that blends serif formality with calligraphic flair. Its flared endings and sharpened terminals prioritize visual drama and brand character, aiming for memorable, upscale display use.
The strong diagonal stress and tapered terminals can create a lively, sparkling texture in larger settings, while the sharp interior details and tight hairlines suggest it will look best when given room and not over-compressed. Distinctive letterforms (such as the swashy lowercase and the angular treatment in round letters) contribute to a very recognizable voice.
