A sharply slanted serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The letterforms show a disciplined, vertical-leaning construction tempered by sweeping italic movement, with wedge-like entry strokes and fine, tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and high contrast, counters stay relatively open, and the overall texture is light and sparkling rather than dense. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with narrow joins, tapered ends, and a distinctly drawn, display-oriented rhythm.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine decks, pull quotes, and other display typography where high contrast and italic energy are an asset. It can also support elegant invitations, branding, and packaging applications that benefit from a refined, luxe serif voice, especially on high-quality print or high-resolution screens.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone associated with luxury, fashion, and cultural publishing. Its dramatic contrast and poised italic flow feel sophisticated and expressive, balancing formality with a sense of motion and flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and precise detailing. Its emphasis on hairline refinement, sculpted serifs, and controlled proportions suggests a focus on elegant display composition rather than rugged, everyday utility.
At text sizes the hairline details and sharp joins create a delicate, shimmering color, while the italic angle and long, pointed terminals add a pronounced sense of direction across a line. The rhythm is refined and slightly theatrical, making the design feel most at home when allowed room to breathe through generous tracking and leading.
