A bold, high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Stems are thick and rounded while hairlines taper to very fine, sharp terminals, creating strong diagonal stress across both upper- and lowercase. Serifs are bracketed and often swept, with wedge-like entry and exit strokes that give many letters a sculpted, flowing silhouette. Curves show tight inner counters and occasional teardrop/ball-like endings, and the overall spacing reads as display-oriented with lively, non-uniform widths that emphasize motion.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, and brand-led applications where strong contrast and slanted motion can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can add a premium, editorial voice to packaging, invitations, and campaign graphics, and works well when paired with a restrained text face for longer reading.
The tone is dramatic and polished, pairing classic serif refinement with a fashion-forward, energetic slant. It feels premium and attention-grabbing, with a cinematic, headline-ready presence that suggests confidence and flair rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, high-fashion serif look with modern punch: strong contrast for sparkle, an italic axis for dynamism, and calligraphic terminals that add sophistication. Its construction prioritizes impact and style over understated text neutrality.
Uppercase forms feel stately and compact with strong diagonals, while the lowercase introduces more pronounced cursive inflections (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y). Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, with crisp hairlines and sturdy main strokes that keep them visually consistent in display settings.
