This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced diagonal stress and a consistent reverse-leaning slant. Strokes transition from hairline thins to needle-like, tapered terminals, while heavier strokes often broaden subtly into flared, blade-shaped endings rather than bracketed slabs. Capitals are tall and tightly drawn with crisp, pointed serifs and open counters; curves feel slightly pulled and asymmetrical, reinforcing the calligraphic, drawn-by-hand rhythm. The lowercase is similarly slender with a moderate x-height and distinctive, sharp entry/exit strokes that give words an animated, shimmering texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and flared terminals can remain intact—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and upscale packaging. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, but the fragile thin strokes and busy rhythm make it more effective for larger settings and lighter text densities.
The overall tone is poised and fashion-forward, balancing elegance with a slightly edgy, contrarian slant. The razor-thin details and taut curves create a sense of drama and precision that reads as premium and editorial rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-inflected serif voice: highly refined, intentionally tense in its reverse-leaning posture, and optimized for expressive impact. Its narrow proportions and calligraphic stress suggest a focus on sophisticated display and editorial applications where character and contrast are central.
In the text sample, the extreme contrast produces a sparkling page color and a lively baseline rhythm, especially around sharp diagonals and hairline joins. Numerals follow the same refined language, with thin, high-contrast forms and delicate terminals that suit display sizes best.
