A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and dense, teardrop-like terminals that read as ink-trap droplets. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with a pronounced forward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, balancing crisp verticals against sweeping curves. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, and many joins flare into wedge-like strokes that amplify the contrast. Curves are smooth and polished, with occasional swash-like tails and entry strokes that add motion and a distinctly stylized silhouette in both upper- and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, beauty and fashion campaigns, and premium packaging where its contrast and italic motion can be shown at generous sizes. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where a refined, expressive voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, with a couture/editorial sensibility that feels premium and expressive. Its sharp contrast and fluid italic energy project sophistication and drama rather than neutrality, making the typography feel curated and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion italic with classical contrast cues, emphasizing sharp refinement and dynamic movement. Its stylized terminals and sweeping curves suggest a focus on impactful display typography with an upscale, editorial character.
In text, the face creates strong sparkle from its thin hairlines and pointed terminals, while the heavier strokes provide solid anchoring on key stems. The numerals echo the same italic, high-contrast logic with sculpted curves, and the alphabet shows consistent, fashion-led detailing across caps and lowercase.
