A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms are steeply slanted and show a calligraphic, diagonal stress, with thin joining strokes and sharper, wedge-like entry/exit terminals. Serifs are largely unbracketed and clean, giving the design a sharp, polished edge, while counters remain open enough for display use. Uppercase proportions feel tall and dignified, and the lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height and lively, tapered curves; numerals follow the same contrast and italic rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short passages where its contrast and italic flow can be appreciated. It fits fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and upscale invitations, and can add a refined accent as a supporting italic in sophisticated typographic systems.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic, fashion-forward sophistication. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic movement suggest refinement and exclusivity, making it feel more editorial than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a high-style italic serif for expressive, high-end communication—balancing classical serif structure with a more theatrical, contemporary contrast and a fast, editorial slant.
The italic rhythm is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a strong forward motion in words and headlines. Very thin hairlines and pointed details add sparkle at larger sizes, but also make the design feel intentionally delicate.
