A sharply slanted serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction: tapered entry strokes, pointed terminals, and delicate bracketed serifs that often resolve into fine, flicked ends. Uppercase proportions are classical and slightly narrow, with long, sweeping diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X, Y) and a flamboyant Q tail. The lowercase has a smooth, rhythmic cursive flow with compact counters and occasional looped or swash-like details (e.g., g, y), while figures are similarly high-contrast with angled stress and elegant curves.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, packaging, and event materials where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or title treatments, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial sheen. High contrast and sharp terminals give it a dramatic, high-fashion presence, while the flowing italic rhythm adds a romantic, expressive character. It reads as premium and formal rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-contrast italic with a couture/editorial sensibility—combining classical serif structures with calligraphic flair for expressive, premium typography in prominent settings.
The texture in paragraph settings is lively and dynamic due to the strong diagonal movement and frequent hairline connections, creating a sparkling, ink-on-paper effect at display sizes. Several forms (like the uppercase Q and the more cursive lowercase) lean toward expressive detailing, which can amplify personality but also makes spacing and size choice important for clarity.
