A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as pen-influenced. The letterforms lean consistently with lively rhythm, using long, pointed terminals and crisp joins that create a bright, sparkling texture in text. Capitals feel sculpted and slightly formal, while lowercase shows fluid curves and compact counters; narrow strokes and hairlines stay clean and intentional. Numerals match the italic energy with curving forms and fine terminals, maintaining the same contrast and overall polish.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury packaging, and brand wordmarks where the high contrast and italic cadence can be showcased. It can also work for pull quotes and short introductions, while extended small-size text may require generous sizing and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font conveys a poised, couture-adjacent elegance with a dramatic, upscale tone. Its calligraphic slant and razor hairlines suggest sophistication and flair, lending a sense of movement and confidence without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif italic with strong calligraphic influence—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and motion for premium editorial and branding contexts.
In larger settings the hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature, producing strong sparkle and a sense of luxury. The italic structure and dynamic stroke endings give it a distinctly editorial voice, especially in all-caps and short phrases where the contrast can fully show.
