A sharply contrasted italic serif with tall capitals, narrow joins, and crisp, hairline serifs. The thick–thin modulation is dramatic, with vertical stress and tapered terminals that create a bright, sparkling texture in text. Letterforms show a classical, Didone-leaning construction: clean bowls, pointed apexes, and elegantly swept italics, while the lowercase includes expressive shapes such as a looped g and a descending, curved y. Numerals mix straight, upright forms (notably the 1) with more calligraphic curves elsewhere, maintaining a consistent, high-contrast rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and luxury branding, posters, and prominent pull quotes where the contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, but its delicate hairlines suggest prioritizing high-quality reproduction and avoiding overly small text.
The font reads as polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial tone. Its strong contrast and forward slant convey drama and sophistication, suggesting luxury, culture, and formality rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classical, high-fashion italic voice: strong vertical structure paired with expressive cursive movement. Its goal is to provide an attention-grabbing, premium look with crisp detail and elegant word shapes.
In the sample text, the heavy stems and very fine hairlines create a lively, shimmering color that becomes especially striking at larger sizes. The italic forms have a pronounced, stylish sweep, so spacing and word shapes feel dynamic and slightly theatrical.
