A slender serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, tapering terminals that often resolve into hairline points. Letterforms are noticeably slanted with a distinctive reverse-italic stance, producing a forward tension in the rhythm. Serifs and terminals feel blade-like rather than bracketed, and curves (notably in rounds like O and S) show crisp transitions from thick to thin. Counters are open and the overall texture is light and airy, with capitals reading as tall and stately while the lowercase keeps a relatively balanced x-height and clear differentiation between characters.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, covers, posters, and premium packaging where its delicate hairlines can be preserved. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles in editorial layouts, especially at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font conveys a cultivated, high-style tone with a touch of theatricality. Its sharp contrast and reverse slant create a sense of motion and sophistication associated with fashion, luxury, and art-direction-led design. The overall impression is poised and intentional, leaning more expressive than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif elegance through a reverse-italic slant and flared, calligraphic terminals, prioritizing visual character and editorial drama. Its proportions and refined stroke endings suggest a focus on sophisticated display use rather than neutral body text.
The flare and taper at stroke endings give many letters a chiseled, ink-pen character, especially where diagonals meet (K, V, W, X) and in the pointed joins of M/N. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that suit display settings more than small, dense text.
