A high-contrast serif italic with sculpted, tapering strokes and sharp triangular terminals. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant, broad italic rhythm, and pronounced thick–thin modulation that creates crisp hairlines against heavy main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into pointed, wedge-like ends, while curves are tightly drawn with glossy, teardrop-like joins and occasional ball-like finishing details. Spacing reads as display-oriented, with lively, uneven inner counters and a forward-driving baseline cadence.
Best suited to large-size settings such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where contrast and italic motion can read clearly. It can also work for premium packaging and campaign graphics that benefit from a dramatic, couture-like serif voice; for longer text, it’s more effective as an accent than as the primary body face.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, blending classic italic sophistication with a distinctly theatrical punch. Its sharp contrasts and sweeping motion evoke fashion mastheads, luxury branding, and high-energy editorial typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive italic styling for maximum visual impact. Its sculpted terminals and energetic slant suggest an intention to stand out in display contexts while maintaining a recognizable, conventional serif structure.
Figures follow the same calligraphic contrast, with several numerals showing distinctive, curled or swashed forms that feel decorative rather than strictly utilitarian. Uppercase shapes are especially bold and sculptural, while lowercase adds more movement through entry/exit strokes and pronounced terminals, reinforcing a headline-first personality.
