A refined serif with pronounced diagonal stress and sharply tapered strokes that swell and release into flared terminals. The letterforms are distinctly slanted with a reverse-italic rhythm, pairing needle-thin hairlines with fuller, sculpted stems and crisp, wedge-like finishes. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic hand and a slightly elastic baseline feel, while counters stay open enough to preserve clarity. Capitals are statuesque and stylized, and the numerals echo the same contrasty, tapered construction for a cohesive text-and-display palette.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where its expressive slant and contrast can be appreciated. It also fits brand identities, beauty/fashion packaging, and poster titling that benefit from a polished, distinctive serif presence.
The overall tone is poised and theatrical—luxury-leaning and fashion-aware, with a sense of movement and wit. Its reverse-leaning energy and sharp hairlines give it a cultivated, editorial voice that feels both classic and slightly unconventional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an italic-inflected, calligraphic serif into a more fashion-forward, attention-grabbing voice. By combining flared endings, taut hairlines, and a reverse-leaning cadence, it aims to deliver a memorable, high-style texture for display-led typography.
Several glyphs emphasize gesture over strict symmetry, with lively joins and terminals that can read almost like inked pen strokes at larger sizes. The strong contrast and delicate hairlines suggest it will appear most confident when given breathing room and clean reproduction.
