A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic slant with tapered strokes, narrow joins, and finely cut serifs that often resolve into needle-like points. Curves are smooth and sculpted, with generous counters and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture; uppercase forms feel stately while the lowercase is more fluid and energetic. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and delicate finishing strokes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short passages where its contrast and sharp detailing can read cleanly. It works especially well in editorial layouts, fashion and beauty collateral, luxury branding, invitations, and poster typography that benefits from an elegant italic voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, balancing classic refinement with a fashionable, display-forward flair. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement evoke couture, glossy magazines, and upscale branding where sophistication and presence are essential.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast italic serifs, prioritizing visual drama, refined finishing, and expressive rhythm over utilitarian text neutrality.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp details, creating a sparkling surface at larger sizes and a more delicate, airy color when set in longer lines. The italic construction is consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving text a cohesive forward momentum.
