A sharply slanted serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes taper to fine points, with frequent ball terminals and teardrop endings that give the forms a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. Proportions are lively and somewhat narrow in places, with varied letter widths and energetic rhythm; curves are taut and counters are relatively compact in the bold strokes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast, tapered logic, producing a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and other short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works well for fashion, luxury, and cultural branding, as well as posters, pull quotes, and packaging accents where a dramatic italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, combining classical refinement with a fashion-forward, theatrical edge. Its sweeping italics and sharp terminals read as confident and premium, with a hint of vintage editorial flair.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, high-contrast italic serif for impactful display typography, blending classical serif structure with stylized terminals and a brisk, contemporary rhythm.
The italic angle is pronounced, and many letters show distinctive entry/exit strokes that create a flowing baseline movement. The darker weight and tight interior spaces can build dense color quickly, especially in longer words, while the pointed details add sparkle at larger sizes.
