A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and crisp, pointed serifs. The letterforms are narrow and tall with a lively, calligraphic slant, showing sharp joins and tapered terminals that create a bright, sparkling rhythm. Curves are sculpted and taut (notably in O/Q and the bowls), while diagonals and entry/exit strokes keep a consistent, pen-like modulation. Numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with delicate horizontals and tapered ends that read as refined rather than geometric.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It works especially well in fashion and editorial layouts, luxury branding touchpoints, invitations, and refined promotional materials where an elegant, high-impact voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing poise with a touch of drama. Its italic energy feels stylish and expressive, suggesting fashion, culture, and high-end presentation rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast italics, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and expressive movement for prominent typographic moments.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and sharp terminals add sophistication and a distinctive shimmer; in tighter settings those same details can appear fragile, so generous size and thoughtful spacing help preserve clarity.
