A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered stems, thin hairlines, and crisp, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with frequent teardrop/ball terminals and gently flared stroke endings. Uppercase forms read as display-oriented—compact, sculpted, and slightly narrow—while the lowercase features a smooth, connected flow and prominent entry/exit strokes that add momentum. Figures are similarly high-contrast and slanted, with curving forms and fine finishing details that emphasize refinement over neutrality.
Best suited for headlines, magazine-style editorial layouts, branding wordmarks, invitations, and short display passages where its contrast and italic motion can carry the visual hierarchy. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when paired with a calmer companion for body text.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, evoking luxury editorial typography and classic fashion branding. Its energetic italic movement and glossy contrast create a sense of flourish and confidence, suited to high-impact, style-forward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion italic voice—combining classic serif structure with expressive terminals and a showy contrast profile to create a premium, attention-grabbing typographic signature.
The spacing and shapes favor larger settings where the hairlines and terminals can stay crisp, and the strong diagonal stress remains clear. The design’s swashy tendencies and prominent terminals give text a distinctive texture, making it more characterful than a quiet workhorse serif.
