A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress. The letterforms are sculpted and curvilinear, with long, tapering hairlines and sharp, needle-like terminals that often finish in small teardrop or ball details. Serifs are delicate and crisp, and the overall rhythm is fluid and slightly elastic, with narrow joins, steep diagonals, and generous internal curves that give counters a glossy, engraved feel. Numerals follow the same display-driven logic, with strong stroke contrast and italic momentum rather than strictly uniform widths.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial display roles where high contrast and italic motion add emphasis. It also fits branding and packaging that aim for an upscale, boutique, or couture feel, and works effectively for posters or invitations where expressive letterforms are a feature.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, reading as fashion-forward and premium. Its sharp hairlines and swashy terminals evoke classic editorial typography and luxury packaging, with a theatrical, slightly romantic flair.
The design appears intended as a display italic that merges modern Didone-like contrast with calligraphic, decorative finishing. Its goal is to deliver strong elegance and impact through sharp hairlines, sculpted curves, and distinctive terminal details.
In text settings, the strong italic slant and ornate finishing details create a lively texture and distinctive word shapes. The crisp hairlines and tight curves suggest best performance at display sizes where the fine strokes and terminals can remain clear.
