A high-contrast italic serif with a steep forward slant, razor-thin hairlines, and emphatic thick strokes. Serifs are fine and sharp, often finishing in hairline points, while many forms show gently tapered entries and exits that suggest a calligraphic broad-pen influence. Proportions are fairly narrow with a lively rhythm created by angled stress and long, fluid terminals; several letters and numerals feature extended swashes and sweeping tails that add motion and sparkle in display settings. Overall spacing reads on the tight-to-moderate side, with a crisp, polished texture that depends on clean reproduction at sufficient size.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other large-size typography where the contrast and swash terminals can be appreciated. It can work for premium branding elements—logotypes, beauty and fashion applications, event collateral, and upscale packaging—where a refined, italic-forward voice is desired.
The tone is sophisticated and dramatic, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than quiet neutrality. Its bright contrast and animated italics give it a fashionable, romantic feel suited to high-end messaging and expressive titling.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic serif with heightened contrast and expressive finishing strokes. It prioritizes elegance and visual flair, using sharp hairlines and sweeping terminals to create a distinctive, editorial presence.
Distinctive swash-like details appear in multiple lowercase letters and in some figures, which increases character and style but can also introduce visual complexity in dense paragraphs. The delicate hairlines and sharp joins make it especially sensitive to small sizes, low-resolution rendering, and reversed-out use.
