A high-contrast italic serif with a steep rightward slant and sharp thick–thin modulation reminiscent of pointed-pen and Didone influences. Capitals are narrow and stylish with intermittent swash-like entry strokes and curled terminals, while lowercase forms are compact with a short x-height and long, expressive ascenders/descenders. Serifs read as fine and flared rather than blocky, and many letters show teardrop/ball terminals and hairline finishing strokes that create a crisp, glossy rhythm in text. Spacing appears lively and slightly variable, with prominent diagonals and tapering joins that emphasize motion.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and short passages where the contrast and swash detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It is well-suited to fashion/editorial layouts, premium branding, invitations, and elegant packaging where a refined, calligraphic italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, projecting a classic, editorial sophistication with a touch of flourish. Its pronounced contrast and ornamental terminals add a romantic, theatrical character that feels suited to upscale or ceremonial contexts rather than utilitarian reading.
The design appears intended to blend a modern high-contrast serif structure with calligraphic ornament, creating an italic display face that feels luxurious and expressive. Its compact lowercase and decorative capitals suggest a focus on stylish titles and branding applications where personality is as important as clarity.
Uppercase glyphs include multiple decorative curls and entry strokes (notably in letters like A, J, M, N, Q, and Y), giving the set a more display-oriented personality. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast treatment, with several figures featuring curving terminals that visually harmonize with the letterforms.
