A sharply contrasted italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and fuller, sculpted main strokes. The letterforms are narrow and tall, with a steep forward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm that shows in the tapered terminals and delicate entry/exit strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed, often resolving into hairline wedges rather than heavy brackets, and curves are drawn with a clean, vertical-stress feeling. Counters stay relatively open for such a slender design, while joins and stroke endings remain crisp and precise.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and short editorial pull quotes. It can add a refined accent in larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered details remain clear.
The overall tone is high-fashion and editorial, projecting refinement, confidence, and a sense of luxury. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic motion feel suited to sophisticated, image-forward branding rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended as an elegant, high-drama italic for premium communication—pairing classical serif structure with a sleek, contemporary finesse to create strong visual impact in display typography.
In text, the spacing reads airy and the thin details become an intentional part of the aesthetic, creating a light, shimmering texture. Numerals follow the same elegant, high-contrast logic, and capitals have a formal, display-oriented presence with long, graceful curves and sharp terminals.
