A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and a pronounced diagonal stress. Thick verticals and hairline joins create a crisp, glossy rhythm, while the broad proportions and open counters keep forms spacious. Serifs read as tapered and wedge-like rather than blocky, and many characters show subtle calligraphic swelling and pointed terminals. Numerals and capitals are robust and display-forward, with energetic curves and occasional swash-like touches (notably in forms such as Q and y).
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short editorial passages where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It works well for magazine mastheads, fashion or cultural posters, and brand identities that want a refined yet attention-grabbing serif voice. For longer text, it is most effective in larger point sizes and with comfortable leading.
The overall tone feels dramatic and editorial, blending classic refinement with a bold, fashion-forward attitude. Its sharp hairlines and flared terminals suggest luxury and ceremony, while the strong italic slant adds motion and emphasis.
Designed to deliver a high-impact italic serif for display use, combining classical serif structure with modern, flared finishing and a distinctly calligraphic swing. The goal appears to be strong personality and elegance without sacrificing clarity in large-scale typography.
The design maintains a consistent contrast model across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, punchy texture in text. The italic construction is assertive, so spacing and line breaks visually benefit from generous room, especially at larger sizes where hairlines and terminals become key features.
