A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and crisp, with pointed, wedge-like entries and occasional ball terminals that give the forms a slightly calligraphic finish. The italic construction is assertive, with flowing curves, lively joins, and a rhythmic slant that stays consistent from capitals through lowercase. Proportions read moderately wide, and the overall color on the page is dramatic, emphasizing vertical stress and sculpted counters.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, invitations, and posters where contrast and slanted energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers in editorial layouts, but will be most effective when given enough size and spacing to protect its fine details.
The font conveys an upscale, editorial tone—polished and expressive rather than utilitarian. Its sharp contrast and animated italic shapes suggest sophistication, glamour, and a sense of ceremony, making text feel curated and stylish.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with strong contrast and refined finishing, balancing traditional serif structure with more decorative, swashed moments. It prioritizes visual impact and elegance, offering a distinctive headline style that remains grounded in conventional serif letterforms.
Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows more personality through curved terminals and sweeping strokes, creating a clear hierarchy between headline and text sizes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, helping set dates and figures with a formal, display-forward character.
