A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm and sharp, tapered terminals. Thick strokes are broad and sculpted, while hairlines drop to very fine, razorlike connections in places, creating a crisp, premium look. Serifs are narrow and pointed rather than blocky, with minimal bracketing and an overall smooth, polished curve quality. Proportions feel slightly extended and airy, with capitals that hold strong presence and lowercases that show lively stroke modulation and occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes; figures follow the same contrast and slanted axis for cohesive color in text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, posters, and high-impact pull quotes. It can also work for short, prominent lines of text where its fine hairlines and sharp details have room to breathe.
The font projects a couture, magazine-led tone—stylish, dramatic, and upscale. Its sparkling contrast and italic motion suggest sophistication and ceremony, with enough sharpness to feel modern and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a glamorous, high-fashion serif voice with strong italic energy and striking stroke contrast, optimized to make words feel elevated and designed rather than merely set.
In the sample text, the strongest visual signature comes from the tension between bold main strokes and extremely thin links, which can create a glittering texture at display sizes. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the design favors crisp edges and pointed details over softness.
