A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and sharp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show long, clean curves and tapered terminals, with thick main strokes set against extremely fine connecting strokes, producing a crisp, sparkling rhythm. Proportions read on the wider side with generous spacing, while the italic construction is consistent and fluid across caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with delicate entry strokes and small finishing flicks that keep the figures light and poised.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and fine detail can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty campaigns, luxury brand lockups, invitations, and large pull quotes. It can work for short text passages in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings, but the hairlines and tight joins call for sufficient size and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a dramatic, high-fashion sheen. Its bright hairlines and sweeping italics suggest sophistication and a slightly theatrical elegance rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast italic voice with contemporary cleanliness: sweeping forms, sharp finishing, and an emphasis on elegance and prestige. It prioritizes visual glamour and rhythmic refinement over ruggedness or plain readability at small sizes.
Capitals feel stately and open, and the italic slant is assertive without becoming cursive. Several lowercase letters use subtle teardrop and hook-like terminals (notably in j, y, and z), adding a decorative sparkle that becomes more evident at larger sizes.
