A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. The letterforms show a smooth, calligraphic flow with tapered terminals, crisp wedge-like serifs, and high-contrast curves that stay clean at display sizes. Proportions are classical and balanced, with a moderately sized x-height, open counters, and a lively rhythm created by the italic angle and alternating heavy stems and delicate hairlines.
Best suited to display typography: magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, event collateral, and upscale packaging. It can work for short passages at larger sizes where the high contrast and fine hairlines have room to breathe, but it will be most confident in titles and prominent accents.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic sparkle typical of high-contrast italics. It feels fashion-forward and editorial, suggesting sophistication and ceremony rather than utilitarian everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end italic voice built around contrast, elegance, and forward motion. Its combination of crisp serifs and calligraphic shaping suggests an aim to bridge classic high-contrast serif traditions with contemporary editorial styling.
Uppercase forms read with a stately, carved quality, while the lowercase leans more fluid and handwritten in its joins and entry/exit strokes. Numerals echo the same contrast and slant, giving figures a stylish, headline-ready presence; the italic stress and sharp finishing strokes make the face feel energetic even in short words.
