A high-contrast italic serif with broad, weighty main strokes and hairline joins and terminals. The forms are built around steep diagonal stress and sharp, wedge-like serifs, with frequent teardrop/ball terminals and occasional swash-like entry strokes. Counters are compact and the rhythm is tightly packed, giving the design a dense, sculpted texture in text. Uppercase shapes feel display-oriented with pronounced modulation and angled finishing, while the lowercase carries the same calligraphic logic and lively terminals for strong word-shape character.
This face is well suited to headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and other large-size editorial applications where contrast and italic motion can do the work. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially for beauty, fashion, and hospitality contexts that benefit from a polished, dramatic serif. For extended reading, it will perform best in short bursts or at generous sizes and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting an upscale editorial voice with a fashion and magazine sensibility. Its sharp contrasts and ornamental terminals add a sense of drama and sophistication, reading as formal and attention-seeking rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a decorative, statement italic serif that merges classic serif construction with calligraphic flair—using extreme stroke modulation, crisp serifs, and ball terminals to create an expressive, upscale display texture.
The numerals and several letters use distinctive pointed or curled terminals that add flair but also increase visual activity at smaller sizes. In longer lines the heavy diagonals and tight counters create a dark, energetic color, making it best when you want impact and a pronounced typographic signature.
