A delicate italic serif with pronounced forward slant and very sharp, tapering terminals. Strokes move between fine hairlines and thicker verticals with crisp, wedge-like serifs and frequent pointed entry/exit strokes that give forms a cut, blade-like finish. The capitals are tall and sculptural, with narrow bowls and high contrast joins that keep counters open while maintaining a sleek footprint. Lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact, slightly arched shoulders, short cross strokes, and a calligraphic feel in letters like a, e, f, and s; numerals follow the same thin–thick logic with elegant curves and minimal, sharp finishing details.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and poster titles where its hairline detailing and italic motion can read clearly. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and high-style, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its razor-thin details and poised slant suggest luxury, sophistication, and a slightly dramatic, couture sensibility rather than casual readability.
The font appears designed to deliver a luxurious, contemporary-didone-like italic impression with heightened sharpness and a sleek, narrow glamour. Its construction prioritizes stylish movement and refined contrast to create impact in prominent, short-form typography.
The design relies on very fine terminals and tight interior shaping, which creates a crisp, premium texture at display sizes. Several glyphs emphasize pointed junctions and tapered strokes, producing a lively sparkle and a somewhat brittle sharpness that is visually striking in headlines.
