A high-contrast italic serif with broad proportions and a lively, calligraphic stroke model. Stems swell and taper quickly into razor-thin hairlines, with pointed terminals and crisp, bracketed serifs that often end in wedge-like tips. The rhythm is energetic: curves are full and slightly sheared, counters feel generous, and the italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a flowing, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It will shine in larger sizes on high-quality reproduction, especially for fashion, arts, and premium lifestyle contexts where a refined, expressive serif is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, with a couture/editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic movement give it a confident, dramatic presence that reads as premium and expressive rather than quiet or utilitarian.
Designed to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward italic serif voice: combining classical high-contrast forms with assertive width and crisp, modern finishing. The intent appears focused on creating an elegant display texture with strong character and a sense of movement.
Capitals show pronounced diagonal stress and sculpted joins, while the lowercase keeps a relatively moderate x-height but leans heavily into thin entry/exit strokes for sparkle. Numerals match the italic emphasis and contrast, with distinctive curved spurs and delicate hairline details that add personality at larger sizes.
