A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, razor-thin hairlines and dark, tapered main strokes. The design leans into a calligraphic, rightward slant with sharp, wedge-like serifs and frequent pointed terminals. Several letters and figures incorporate decorative swashes and curled details, giving the set a lively, variable texture across the alphabet and numerals. Counters are generally compact and vertical stress reads clearly in round forms, while the overall rhythm alternates between elegant restraint and occasional flourished accents.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant invitations where its contrast and hairlines can render cleanly. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but the delicate details and decorative forms favor larger sizes and generous spacing over long, small-body copy.
The font conveys a polished, couture sensibility—dramatic and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial tone. Its sparkle comes from the extreme contrast and hairline detailing, while the swashy moments add flair and a slightly theatrical, boutique feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion italic with pronounced contrast and a curated dose of ornamentation. It aims to balance classic, formal serif structure with expressive swashes for distinctive word shapes and memorable typographic moments.
In continuous text the thin horizontals and fine entry/exit strokes create a light, shimmering color, while the heavier downstrokes anchor words and sharpen emphasis. The numerals show a similarly expressive approach, mixing classic high-contrast structure with ornamental curls that make figures more display-oriented than utilitarian.
