A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, showing a pronounced rightward slant and largely vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with delicate entry/exit strokes that create a glossy, chiseled silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are clean, giving the face a polished, formal rhythm. The lowercase features flowing, calligraphic gestures (notably in a, g, y, and f), while caps are stately and narrow-to-moderate with strong thick–thin modulation and pointed terminals.
Best suited for display applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, event invitations, and poster typography where the contrast can stay crisp. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but the fine hairlines and tight interior spaces suggest using generous size and comfortable leading for best results.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its sharp contrast and italic motion convey sophistication, romance, and a sense of high-end display typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and refined detailing, prioritizing impact and elegance in short-form typography. Its stylized, calligraphic lowercase and sharp serif treatment aim to create a premium, attention-grabbing texture in editorial and branding contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally lively, with some glyphs feeling more compact than others, contributing to an energetic headline texture. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin hairlines and bold main strokes that read best at larger sizes.
