A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean strongly with a lively, calligraphic rhythm, combining crisp hairlines with weighty main strokes and softly sculpted curves. Proportions run on the wider side, with open counters and generous sidebearings that help the slanted forms breathe in text. Terminals frequently finish in pointed teardrops or subtle swashes, and the numerals echo the same contrast and italic momentum with curled details in several figures.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-form setting where the contrast and italic animation can remain crisp. It fits editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and formal invitations or announcements. In longer passages, it will be most comfortable when given ample size, leading, and high-quality reproduction to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, reading as fashion-forward and editorial rather than purely utilitarian. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted joins create a sense of drama and sophistication, while the flowing italic movement adds a touch of romance and display flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly italic, calligraphic sparkle—aimed at refined display typography that feels contemporary in editorial and luxury contexts while still grounded in traditional serif structure.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly decorative through their tapered serifs and angled stress, while the lowercase introduces more personality via looped and curled terminals (notably in letters like g, y, and z). The italic angle and contrast remain consistent across letters and figures, producing a cohesive, high-energy texture at larger sizes.
