A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation throughout. Stems swell into heavy main strokes that taper quickly into hairline terminals, creating sharp, wedge-like serifs and crisp entry/exit strokes. Curves are tightly drawn and slightly pinched at joins, giving counters a lively, sculpted feel. The overall rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, with noticeably varied letter widths, compact spacing tendencies, and a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic rather than purely geometric construction.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging where its contrast and sharp details can remain intact. It can work for short pulls or emphasized phrases in editorial layouts, but the intense modulation and busy rhythm make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The tone is refined and theatrical, combining traditional serif formality with a glamorous, editorial bite. Its sharp terminals and steep contrast read as luxurious and attention-seeking, suitable for expressive, high-status messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with heightened drama: an italic built for impact, pairing traditional proportions with razor-thin hairlines and emphatic swelling to create a distinctly upscale, attention-grabbing texture on the page.
The numerals share the same italic energy and sharp, tapered finishing, with strong figure shaping that reads well at larger sizes. Round letters (O, Q, o) show pronounced contrast and tight hairline transitions, while diagonals (V, W, X) emphasize pointed terminals and brisk movement.
