A high-contrast serif with an italic, calligraphic construction: thick verticals and bowls are paired with extremely fine hairlines and needle-like serifs. The forms are noticeably expansive and airy, with wide capitals, generous curves, and crisp, pointed terminals that often taper into flicks. Stroke modulation follows a largely vertical stress, giving rounded letters a sculpted, glossy feel, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) end in razor-thin tips. The lowercase shows a smooth, flowing rhythm with slender joins and a balanced x-height, and the numerals echo the same contrast and delicate finishing strokes.
Best suited for display settings such as fashion and lifestyle mastheads, luxury and beauty branding, editorial headlines, and elegant event materials like invitations. It can also work for short pull quotes or prominent subheads where its fine details and italic flow can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a dramatic, high-fashion sparkle created by the tension between bold main strokes and whisper-thin details. It reads as refined and expressive rather than utilitarian, leaning toward a polished, boutique sophistication.
The design appears intended to translate classical high-contrast serif ideals into a more expressive italic voice, emphasizing glamour, sharp finishing details, and spacious proportions. Its construction prioritizes visual drama and refinement for premium, attention-getting typography.
The thin strokes and serifs are extremely delicate, so the design’s character is carried by sharp contrast, tapered endings, and sweeping italic motion. In longer passages, the wide proportions and lively stroke modulation create a distinctive texture that feels more display-forward than purely text-oriented.
