This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, mostly unbracketed hairline serifs and strong thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean with a consistent rightward slant and show crisp, tapered joins that create a polished, calligraphic sparkle rather than a soft handwritten feel. Counters are relatively open, while curves (notably in C, O, S, and the lowercase bowls) exhibit smooth, controlled tension. The overall rhythm is refined and slightly formal, with narrow hairlines, firm vertical stress, and pointed terminals that keep the silhouette clean at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where its hairlines and contrast can remain crisp. The italic stance and refined serifs make it a strong choice for fashion/editorial layouts, premium packaging, and elegant invitations or event collateral, especially when paired with a quieter text face.
The font conveys a luxurious, editorial tone—poised, dramatic, and stylish. Its pronounced contrast and italic energy suggest sophistication and a sense of motion, aligning well with high-end branding and classic print aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic italic serif forms, prioritizing contrast, sheen, and graceful movement. It aims to provide an upscale voice for display typography while maintaining conventional serif structure and clear letterfit.
Uppercase forms read stately and restrained, while the lowercase adds liveliness through more pronounced italic construction and tapered strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and angled momentum, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that emphasize a fashion-forward, display-oriented personality.
