A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and very fine hairline serifs. The letterforms are broad and sweeping, with a lively forward slant, tapered entry/exit strokes, and crisp, sharp terminals that keep counters open despite the heavy main strokes. Uppercase shapes feel stately and sculpted, while the lowercase shows calligraphic influence—noticeable in the single-storey a, looping descenders, and the swash-like j and f forms. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic rhythm, with elegant curves and thin linking strokes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and italic motion can carry the composition. It can also work for premium packaging and event collateral, especially when paired with a restrained sans or a quieter serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is elegant and attention-grabbing, pairing couture-like sophistication with a theatrical, high-fashion flair. Its glossy contrast and brisk italic cadence give it a premium, editorial voice suited to aspirational branding.
Likely designed as a statement italic for display typography, emphasizing luxurious contrast, sharp finishing details, and a rhythmic, fashion-forward texture across both capitals and lowercase.
Spacing appears tuned for display: the strong diagonals and hairline joins create a dynamic texture that reads best at larger sizes, where the delicate serifs and thin strokes can fully resolve. The ampersand and several lowercase forms add a decorative note without becoming overly ornamental.
