A striking italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous bowls and a confident rightward slant, giving the face an expansive, forward-moving rhythm. Serifs are sharp and refined, with pointed, wedge-like finishing and occasional teardrop/ball terminals in the lowercase. Curves are smooth and full, counters stay open at display sizes, and the overall texture alternates between dense vertical stems and delicate connecting strokes for a highly animated page color.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, theatrical posters, and logo wordmarks where contrast and italic motion can be showcased. It will be most effective at larger sizes, where the hairlines and sharp details remain clear and intentional.
The font conveys a bold, fashion-led elegance—dramatic and slightly flamboyant, with a sense of vintage glamour. Its sweeping italics and sharp contrast read as confident and expressive, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs—pairing refined hairlines with bold, sculptural forms and a touch of ornamental flourish to create maximum impact in editorial and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms feel stately and poster-ready, while the lowercase introduces more flourish through curled terminals and lively entry/exit strokes (notably in letters like a, f, g, j, and y). Numerals match the display character with sculpted curves and strong contrast, maintaining a cohesive, high-impact tone across the set.
