A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly vertical stress and crisp, hairline terminals. The heavy strokes are full and rounded while the connecting strokes narrow quickly into fine thins, producing a sharp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are delicate and largely unbracketed, and many letters show tapered, calligraphic entries with subtle swash-like finishes (notably in lowercase and in the italic figures). Counters are relatively compact and the overall color is dense, with a lively, slightly variable cadence from glyph to glyph typical of display-oriented italics.
Best suited to headlines, editorial decks, pull quotes, and branding where contrast and elegance are intended to be seen at size. It can work well for fashion, beauty, and luxury packaging or event materials, and is likely to feel most comfortable in short-to-medium text settings rather than long body copy.
The design reads as polished and upscale, with a dramatic, fashion-forward tone. Its sharp contrast and elegant italics suggest refinement and ceremony, while the energetic curves add a touch of theatrical flair.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic high-fashion italic voice: strong contrast for impact, fine details for sophistication, and italic motion for emphasis. Its forms prioritize expressive presence and stylish rhythm in display typography.
The italic forms are assertive, with pronounced diagonals and tight joins that emphasize movement. Numerals appear italic as well, with flowing contours and strong thick–thin transitions that match the letterforms.
