A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp wedge-like serifs, and a forward-leaning, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms feel expansive and sculpted, with sharp entry strokes and tapered terminals that emphasize diagonal energy. Lowercase shows more cursive influence, including flowing joins and occasional swashy details (notably on letters like f, g, y, and z), while maintaining a consistent baseline and lively stroke transitions. Figures follow the same contrast and slanted stress, with angular tops and tapered finishing strokes that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, luxury branding, and packaging where its contrast and italic sweep can be appreciated. It can also work for short, prominent passages in editorial design, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic serif refinement with a fashion-forward, headline-driven flair. Its strong contrast and italic movement convey sophistication, confidence, and a sense of dramatic emphasis suited to polished, high-attention typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic serif with strong visual impact—melding traditional high-contrast proportions with expressive, slightly swashy lowercase forms to create memorable, premium-looking typography.
Spacing appears generous in the capitals, giving words an airy, upscale texture, while the lowercase introduces more animated shapes that can create a distinctive, expressive word silhouette. The contrast and fine hairlines suggest it will look best when given enough size and clean reproduction conditions.
