A high-contrast italic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapering terminals. The letters lean noticeably to the right, with smooth, calligraphic curves and crisp serifs that read as fine hairlines at smaller joins. Capitals are narrow and poised, with sculpted bowls and clean, pointed apexes; the overall rhythm is airy and vertical despite the italic slant. Lowercase forms show a lively cursive structure, including single-storey shapes and occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes, while figures align with the same contrast and angled stress for a cohesive texture.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display typography where contrast and italics can provide emphasis and elegance. It also fits branding for fashion, beauty, and premium packaging, as well as formal invitations or event materials where a refined, high-style voice is desired.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone—confident and stylish rather than rustic. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and a slightly theatrical flair that suits luxury and culture-oriented contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif look with dramatic contrast and polished detailing. It prioritizes elegance and expressive motion, offering a distinctive editorial presence in both uppercase titling and flowing lowercase settings.
In continuous text the italic angle and fine hairlines create a bright, sparkling page color, with pronounced emphasis on diagonal strokes and curved joins. The design favors expressive silhouettes and sharp detailing over understated neutrality, making it most impactful when given adequate size and spacing.
