A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairline joins and prominent thick-to-thin modulation. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant and an elegant, calligraphic stress, with tapered entry/exit strokes and pointed, bracketed serifs that feel blade-like at the terminals. Curves are smooth and sculpted, while diagonals and cross-strokes stay crisp, giving the face a lively rhythm and a distinctly elegant silhouette. Uppercase forms read narrow-to-moderate in footprint with pronounced swelling on main stems, and the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with long, flowing extenders and frequent teardrop-like finishing on strokes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where contrast and italic motion can carry the composition. It also fits premium branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and invitation-style applications where a refined, editorial voice is desired. For longer passages it will generally perform best at comfortable sizes with generous spacing to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking fashion mastheads and classic editorial typography. Its strong contrast and expressive italic movement add drama and sophistication, reading as confident, cultured, and intentionally stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, fashion-forward italic serif voice with pronounced contrast and calligraphic elegance. It prioritizes visual glamour and rhythmic movement, aiming to elevate titles and branded messaging with a distinctive, luxurious finish.
In continuous text the energetic stroke modulation and tight, sharp terminals create a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, pairing well with display settings where the slant and hairlines can breathe.
