A sharply contrasted italic serif with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions and fine hairline connections. The letterforms are wide and generously spaced, with long, tapered serifs and a consistent rightward slant. Curves show vertical stress and crisp terminals, while several glyphs feature calligraphic flourishes—especially in the lowercase—along with occasional ball terminals and small teardrop-like joins that intensify the rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic and include decorative curves that read as distinctly display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and italic motion can be showcased. It can work for short, expressive pull quotes or cover lines, and for premium packaging or invitations where a refined, decorative serif is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and emphatic, combining fashion-editorial polish with a slightly theatrical flair. Its contrast and sweeping italic gestures create a sense of movement and luxury, making text feel ceremonious and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic high-fashion, high-drama italic voice: wide, sculpted forms with crisp hairlines and ornamental touches that prioritize impact and sophistication in display settings.
The design shows a strong hierarchy between thick stems and hairlines, so fine details can visually recede at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. The wide proportions and swashy lowercase forms add personality but also increase texture and visual complexity in longer passages.
