A sharply slanted serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Curves are taut and glossy, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that often finish in a fine needle-like flick. The rhythm is energetic and calligraphic despite the formal skeleton, and many letters show gently inflated bowls paired with narrow, blade-like connecting strokes. Numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast logic, creating a polished, display-oriented texture with pronounced diagonal flow.
This font is best used for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its high contrast and sweeping italic forms can be appreciated. It also suits invitations, luxury packaging, and campaign graphics that benefit from a refined, high-drama serif voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, balancing classic sophistication with a sense of motion and flair. It reads as couture and editorial, with a dramatic sparkle that feels suited to premium branding and stylish headlines rather than quiet, utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic serif, prioritizing elegance, motion, and striking thick–thin interplay for display typography.
The italic angle is assertive, and several glyphs feature swash-like entry/exit strokes that add personality at larger sizes. The high contrast and delicate hairlines make the face feel most comfortable when given ample size and clean reproduction conditions.
