A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and heavy, tapered main strokes. Forms are strongly right-leaning with calligraphic modulation, showing teardrop and ball-like terminals and occasional spur-like joins that create a slightly ornamental, sculpted feel. Serifs read as fine, sharp accents rather than brackets, and the overall rhythm alternates between broad, inky strokes and delicate connecting hairlines, producing a crisp, shimmering texture in display settings. Capitals are tall and assertive, while lowercase combines compact counters with sweeping entry/exit strokes; numerals mirror the same dramatic thick–thin behavior.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short editorial lines where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It works well for luxury packaging, event collateral, and fashion/beauty layouts, and can serve as a distinctive logotype style when set large with generous spacing.
The tone is luxurious and theatrical, evoking fashion mastheads and high-end editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and poised italic movement feel formal and confident, with a hint of flourish that adds personality and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: crisp hairlines, dramatic stroke modulation, and italic momentum combined with selective ornamental terminals to stand out in display applications.
In continuous text the hairlines become a defining feature, so spacing and background contrast will strongly affect clarity. The ampersand and several lowercase forms lean into swash-like detailing, reinforcing a decorative, headline-forward character.
