A slanted, high-contrast display italic with sharp, tapered serifs and striking hairline connections. Strokes swing between dense, inky main stems and extremely thin entry/exit strokes, creating a crisp rhythm and sparkling texture. Capitals are wide and stylized with delicate, calligraphic lead-in swashes, while the lowercase keeps a more compact, flowing cursive skeleton with teardrop terminals and occasional looped descenders. Numerals follow the same steep contrast and italic momentum, with angled stress and fine finishing strokes that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style display typography, and branding where high contrast and elegant motion are advantages. It also fits invitations, event materials, and upscale packaging, particularly when set large with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The tone is luxe and theatrical—more runway and editorial than utilitarian. Its sweeping openings and razor-thin details suggest ceremony and sophistication, delivering a romantic, high-fashion voice with a hint of vintage glamour.
The font appears designed to emulate formal calligraphy filtered through a modern fashion-editorial lens, prioritizing dramatic contrast, italic movement, and decorative capital swashes. It aims to deliver instant sophistication and a memorable word-shape rather than neutral, continuous-text readability.
The design relies on extremely thin hairlines and tight internal joins that can visually break down or fill in at small sizes or on low-resolution output. The prominent swashes on certain capitals create a distinctive silhouette but can demand extra spacing and careful line breaks to avoid collisions in dense settings.
