A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced diagonal axis, sharp hairlines, and weight concentrated in sweeping, calligraphic downstrokes. The letterforms are wide and spacious, with crisp, pointed serifs and tapered terminals that often finish in small curls or teardrop-like flicks. Curves are smooth and sculptural, counters are open, and many glyphs show lively stroke modulation that creates a rhythmic, forward-moving texture in text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where its contrast and swash-like finishing details can be appreciated. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution settings.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining couture polish with a touch of flamboyance from its swashy terminals. It reads as upscale and editorial, projecting sophistication and drama rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion italic with strong calligraphic movement, pairing crisp, refined serifs with expressive terminals for standout wordmarks and editorial typography.
Distinctive details include curl-ended terminals on several lowercase letters and numerals, a lively italic rhythm, and a mix of compact and more extended shapes that gives words a subtly varied silhouette. The thin connecting strokes and hairlines are especially delicate, so the design’s character is most visible at display sizes.
