A sharply contrasted italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and very fine hairline serifs. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with a lively, calligraphic slant and crisp terminals that often finish in small wedges or subtle flicks. Curves are taut and polished, counters stay open despite the thin joins, and the overall rhythm is smooth and continuous, giving text a sleek, flowing texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and brand marks where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also works well for refined print pieces such as invitations and cultural or fashion-facing materials; for longer passages it will be most comfortable at larger text sizes with careful reproduction to preserve the hairlines.
The tone is poised and luxurious, balancing classical bookishness with a modern editorial sheen. Its high-contrast sparkle and italic motion read as sophisticated and dramatic rather than casual, lending a sense of couture refinement and formal confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a quintessential high-fashion italic voice: crisp, high-contrast, and classically proportioned, with enough calligraphic movement to feel expressive in display typography. It prioritizes elegance and visual sparkle over ruggedness, aiming for a premium, editorial look.
Uppercase letterforms feel stately and slightly expansive, while lowercase shows more cursive influence with long, elegant strokes and gently animated entry/exit terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and appear designed to match display settings, with especially delicate hairlines that will benefit from generous size and spacing.
