A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Thick stems and hairline transitions are sharp and clean, with bracketed serifs that taper into fine points and occasional teardrop/ball-like terminals in the lowercase. The capitals feel broad and sculpted, while the lowercase is lively and slightly irregular in rhythm, mixing crisp joins with soft, swelling curves; counters are relatively tight in the heavier strokes, giving the face strong color in text. Figures are similarly italicized and stylized, with curled entry/exit strokes that echo the letter terminals and maintain the same dramatic thick–thin modulation.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture editorial, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and italic momentum can read as intentional style. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging text at moderately large sizes, where the hairlines and swashy terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is upscale and theatrical—more runway editorial than bookish restraint. Its sweeping curves and emphatic contrast convey elegance and intensity, with a classic, slightly romantic flavor that feels designed to be noticed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a confident, high-fashion italic serif with classic roots and heightened contrast, prioritizing expressive silhouettes and a strong typographic presence over quiet neutrality.
Several glyphs show expressive terminal shaping (notably in letters like a, f, g, j, y, and z) that adds personality but also increases the sense of motion. The strong slant and narrow hairlines suggest it will look best when allowed breathing room, especially at larger sizes or with generous tracking.
