A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms are wide and open, with long, flowing entry and exit strokes that give many letters a slightly swashy, calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals often taper to fine points, and counters remain relatively generous despite the strong contrast. The italic angle is consistent and lively, with a rhythmic baseline flow and occasional extended tails on letters like f, j, y, and z, plus expressive figures with angled stress and delicate hairlines.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and invitations or event materials where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when given ample size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone with a theatrical edge—more runway and magazine than utilitarian text. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italics read as confident and stylish, suggesting luxury, romance, and a touch of old-world sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic with strong contrast and graceful movement, balancing refined serif tradition with more expressive, swashy details for attention-grabbing display typography.
At larger sizes the crisp hairlines and tapered terminals create striking sparkle, while the short lowercase proportions and energetic swashes make it feel distinctly display-oriented. The numerals echo the same italic stress and pointed detailing, supporting cohesive titling and headline settings.
