A high-contrast, right-leaning serif with sculpted curves and flared stroke endings that widen as they approach terminals. The letterforms show pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, sharp tapered joins, and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs and terminals are crisp and often wedge-like, with occasional sweeping entry/exit strokes (notably in capitals such as Q) that add movement. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with rounded bowls and energetic diagonals that create a strong, glossy texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short paragraphs where the contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It’s a strong choice for fashion and lifestyle editorial, premium branding, packaging, and titles that benefit from a refined yet expressive serif presence.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, combining classic serif sophistication with a fashion-forward, display-like flair. Its contrast and italic motion give it a sense of speed and elegance, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif voice with calligraphic motion and flared terminals, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and headline charisma. Its widened proportions and dramatic contrast suggest a focus on display performance and brand-forward typography.
In longer settings the dense black strokes create a strong typographic color, while the sharp hairlines and swashy details introduce sparkle and personality. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same flowing, sculpted logic, reinforcing a consistent, stylized voice across the set.
