A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and dense, teardrop-like terminals that create a lively, sparkling texture. Forms show a pronounced diagonal slant and vertical stress, with narrow joins, sharp entry strokes, and wedge-like serifs that often feel flared rather than heavily bracketed. Curves are taut and sculpted, counters are relatively compact, and several letters feature small swashes and hooked finishes (notably in J, f, y, and some numerals), giving the set a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase proportions read spacious and display-oriented, while lowercase maintains a steady, moderate x-height with energetic ascenders/descenders and strong thick–thin modulation throughout.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headings, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and campaign lockups where elegance and contrast are an asset. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling lines, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and terminals have room to breathe.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing refined elegance with a slightly flamboyant, fashion-forward flair. Its pointed terminals and sweeping curves convey confidence and sophistication, with a sense of movement that feels suited to premium, attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-style italic serif that references calligraphic writing while remaining crisp and editorial. It emphasizes glamour, motion, and sharp contrast to deliver a distinctive headline voice rather than a neutral text workhorse.
In running text the high contrast creates a pronounced vertical shimmer, and the italic slant plus swashy details make spacing and word-shape feel dynamic. Numerals echo the same sculpted contrast and curled terminals, helping headlines and short figures maintain a cohesive, ornamental voice.
