A sharply cut italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, needle-like hairlines. The forms lean strongly and feel written, with tapered entrances and exits, flared terminals, and occasional teardrop/ball details in joins and terminals. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, and the overall drawing emphasizes vertical strokes while letting diagonals and curves sweep fluidly. Proportions are relatively narrow with a tall cap presence; lowercase counters are compact and the rhythm alternates between tight bowls and long, elegant extenders.
Best suited to display applications where its fine hairlines and expressive italics can be appreciated: magazine headings, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and short pull quotes. It can work for short passages at generous sizes, but the delicate strokes and dramatic modulation favor larger text and higher-quality output.
The tone is glamorous and high-drama, balancing refined elegance with a distinctly expressive, calligraphic flair. It reads as upscale and stylistic rather than neutral, lending a sense of couture polish and theatrical emphasis to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, high-fashion interpretation of an italic serif—combining classical vertical-stress contrast with contemporary sharpness and decorative finishing for statement typography.
Several glyphs show distinctive swash-like touches and decorative finishing, especially in letters like J, Q, z, and some numerals, which creates a lively texture in text. The spacing and slant produce a continuous forward motion, and the strong contrast makes the texture sparkle at larger sizes while becoming more delicate in smaller settings.
