A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly sculpted, decorative construction. Strokes swing between hairline-thin connections and bold, teardrop-like terminals, with sharp, flared serifs that often resolve into pointed wedges. Bowls and counters are generous and rounded, while many joins pinch tightly, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Several letters introduce swooping entry/exit strokes and soft swashes, and the figures echo the same italic momentum with pronounced curves and tapered ends.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, fashion or culture magazines, posters, and brand marks where an elegant but characterful serif is desired. It can also work for short, high-impact statements on packaging or invitations, especially when set with generous tracking and plenty of whitespace.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, balancing refined fashion energy with a slightly whimsical, storybook flourish. Its dramatic contrast and stylized terminals read as expressive and confident rather than purely traditional, giving text a curated, headline-forward personality.
The font appears designed to reinterpret an italic serif through a more ornamental, high-fashion lens—amplifying contrast, sharpening serifs, and adding swashy terminals to create instant display presence and a recognizable texture in titles.
The design shows strong diagonal flow and lively baseline movement typical of display italics, with distinctive, sometimes exaggerated terminals that can form dark spots at larger sizes. Spacing appears open enough for titling, but the intricate stroke transitions and decorative forms make it visually active in dense paragraphs.
