A slanted, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, finely tapered hairlines. The letterforms feel wide-set with generous internal spaces, and strokes often end in pointed wedges or knife-like terminals rather than soft bracketing. Curves are smooth and glossy, with an overall vertical stress that reads clearly in rounded forms, while diagonals and joins create lively, calligraphic tension. Uppercase has strong, display-oriented proportions and crisp entry/exit strokes; lowercase shows compact counters and rhythmic, slightly springy italic construction.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, short editorial callouts, and brand marks where its contrast and italic energy can be the centerpiece. It also fits premium packaging and poster work that benefits from a dramatic, fashion-forward serif presence.
The tone is bold and flamboyant, with a couture/editorial confidence that suggests luxury and drama rather than neutrality. Its sharp contrast and swashy motion give it a theatrical, attention-seeking voice suited to high-impact statements.
The design appears intended as a statement serif for display typography, prioritizing sharp contrast, elegant motion, and sculptural silhouettes to create a distinctive, upscale voice.
In text settings the color is dense and emphatic, with striking sparkle from the hairlines and strong silhouettes. Numerals are similarly stylized, leaning into curvy, sculpted forms that feel designed for display rather than quiet utility.
