A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and dense, teardrop-like terminals on many strokes. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic flow, combining sharp, wedge-like serifs with occasional ball terminals and small flourished hooks in characters such as j, y, z, and several numerals. Counters are relatively open and the rhythm feels airy despite the bold thick strokes, creating a crisp sparkle in text. Uppercase forms read formal and sculpted, while the lowercase adds more movement and decorative curvature.
Best suited for headlines, magazine/editorial typography, and brand moments where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can also work well for invitations, packaging, and short pull quotes, especially when set at display sizes where the hairlines and terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a strong editorial and fashion sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and fluid italic stance suggest sophistication and high-end refinement, while the swashy details add a lightly theatrical, expressive edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice with striking contrast and decorative terminals, balancing formal capitals with a more expressive lowercase for memorable display typography.
In continuous text the thin connections and hairlines become prominent, giving a shimmering texture that favors larger sizes and generous spacing. The italic construction is consistent across letters and figures, and the numerals echo the same high-contrast, slightly flourished styling for cohesive display use.
