A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, hairline-thin joins and sharply tapered thick strokes. Serifs are fine and knife-like with minimal bracketing, and the overall rhythm is steeply slanted with a smooth, calligraphic flow. Counters are relatively open for an italic, while terminals often finish in pointed, flicked shapes. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow with strong vertical emphasis, and the figures follow the same contrast and italic construction for a cohesive texture in setting.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headings, fashion and beauty branding, refined packaging, and formal invitations where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, subheads) at comfortable sizes, especially with generous spacing and high-quality output.
The font reads as polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial tone. Its razor-thin detailing and dramatic stroke modulation give it a poised, high-fashion energy, while the classical serif structure keeps it formal and traditional.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic voice that feels luxurious and authoritative. The emphasis on sharp hairlines, clean serifs, and energetic slant suggests an aim toward sophisticated display typography with strong editorial presence.
In text, the combination of steep italic angle and extreme contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The thinnest hairlines can visually recede in lighter reproduction conditions, while the heavier strokes maintain a strong silhouette.
