A sharply slanted serif with pronounced calligraphic modulation and crisp, wedge-like finishing strokes. The letterforms show strong thick–thin transitions, with hairline connections and fuller, ink-trap-like joins that create a sculpted rhythm across words. Serifs are pointed and often triangular, with occasional sweeping terminals and dynamic entry/exit strokes that give the outlines a carved, high-fashion look. Proportions lean compact in the bowls and counters, while capitals feel slightly wide and commanding, producing a lively texture in continuous text.
Best suited to large-size settings such as headlines, mastheads, cover lines, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp terminals can reproduce cleanly. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially in fashion, beauty, or luxury contexts, but is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to its fine hairlines and tight internal spaces.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic strokes and razor-sharp details convey sophistication, spectacle, and a slightly flamboyant energy suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The font appears designed to bring a modern, high-contrast editorial serif voice into italic-driven display typography, prioritizing elegance and drama. Its angular serifs and sculptural joins suggest an intention to deliver a distinctive, logo-ready texture that still reads as a conventional serif family member rather than an ornamental script.
The design favors impact over neutrality: apertures can be tight, joins and diagonals are emphasized, and some shapes (notably in the lowercase) show expressive, swash-like movement. Numerals follow the same theatrical contrast and angled stress, maintaining a cohesive voice alongside the letters.
