This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with many strokes ending in fine hairlines that give the forms a bright, polished edge. Capitals are narrow and statuesque with smooth curves and pointed joins, while the lowercase shows lively cursive construction, single-storey forms, and a strong rightward slant. Counters are generally compact, and spacing feels slightly uneven by design, creating a dynamic rhythm where rounded letters read fuller and straight-sided letters appear tighter.
It suits display settings where elegance and contrast can shine—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, fashion and beauty branding, and formal invitations. For longer passages, it will work best at comfortable sizes with generous leading, where the hairlines and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and cultivated, leaning toward editorial sophistication and classic luxury. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic motion suggest drama and poise rather than neutrality, giving text a graceful, ceremonial character.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic, high-fashion serif italic with calligraphic movement, prioritizing sparkle, contrast, and graceful silhouettes for expressive typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
Distinctive swash-like entry and exit strokes appear in several lowercase letters, and some glyphs (notably in the sample text) show expressive curves and hook-shaped terminals that add personality. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with slender diagonals and delicate hairline details that look best when given room.
