A high-contrast italic serif with a forward-leaning, calligraphic rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals are broad and sculpted with sharp, tapered wedge serifs and fine hairlines, while curves show clear vertical stress. Lowercase forms are more fluid and expressive, featuring occasional swash-like joins and ball terminals (notably on g, j, y, and z), giving the texture a lively, ink-on-paper feel. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with rounded, weighty forms balanced by delicate entry and exit strokes.
Best suited to display typography: editorial headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, book covers, and premium packaging where contrast and movement are an advantage. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, particularly when generous spacing and high-quality rendering preserve the fine details.
The font conveys a refined, dramatic tone—part fashion editorial, part classical inscription. Its energetic italic movement and sharp contrasts read as confident and luxurious, with a hint of flamboyance from the more decorative lowercase details.
The design appears intended to combine classic high-contrast serif structure with an assertive italic stance and selective decorative terminals. The goal seems to be impactful display presence—dark, wide letterforms with elegant hairline refinement and a touch of flourish for distinctive voice.
At display sizes the hairlines and tapered serifs create crisp sparkle, while the bold main strokes keep words dark and punchy. The more embellished lowercase (especially z and some descenders) adds personality and can draw attention in tight settings, contributing to a distinctive, slightly theatrical texture.
