A sharply italic serif with striking thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The letterforms are wide and generously spaced, with flowing, calligraphic stroke entries and tapered terminals that create a brisk forward motion. Capitals feel sculpted and slightly swashy in places (notably in curves and diagonals), while the lowercase keeps a smooth rhythm with a pronounced slant, narrow joins, and crisp finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine, blade-like details.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titling, and elegant invitations where its hairline details and wide proportions can breathe. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or deck copy when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the crisp thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—luxurious in its contrast and decidedly expressive in its italic movement. It reads as upscale and formal, with a hint of vintage editorial flair that suggests sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice—combining traditional serif structure with dramatic contrast and a lively, calligraphic slant for impactful, refined typography.
In running text the high contrast and thin serifs produce a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes where the fine details and tapered curves are most visible. Several shapes show intentionally stylized, calligraphy-inspired terminals and sweeping curves that add personality without becoming ornamental to the point of script.
