A sharp, high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. The forms lean consistently with a smooth, calligraphic flow, pairing crisp wedge-like terminals with fine, delicate serifs. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows lively cursive cues—single-storey a and g, a looped y, and narrow, energetic joins—creating a rhythmic, forward-moving texture. Numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with slender diagonals and fine finishing strokes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty identities, and other display-led typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It also works for short, prominent text in invitations or premium packaging, especially when ample size and spacing can preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a distinctly fashion-forward, editorial personality. Its dramatic contrast and italic energy convey luxury, confidence, and a curated, high-end feel rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic voice—combining traditional serif structure with pronounced contrast and sleek hairlines for dramatic, upscale typography in contemporary editorial contexts.
In text, the strong slant and thin hairlines create a sparkling page color with noticeable stroke shimmer; this gives a striking look at larger sizes but can feel delicate in dense, small setting. The italic construction is expressive without becoming script-like, keeping a clear serif identity while emphasizing motion and flair.
