A slanted, formal script with sharp, high-contrast strokes and a crisp, engraved feel. Letterforms combine narrow hairlines with bold, tapered downstrokes, producing a sparkling texture and pronounced rhythm. Capitals feature sweeping entry/exit swashes and curled terminals, while lowercase stays mostly unconnected with italic serif-like structure and teardrop/ball-like finishing on some joins. Counters are compact and ovals are steeply angled, with overall generous width and poised, display-oriented spacing.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its contrast and swashes can shine—magazine headlines, beauty/fashion branding, event invitations, and boutique packaging. It can work in small doses for pull quotes or subheads, but the fine hairlines and ornate capitals favor larger sizes and restrained line lengths.
The font reads as polished and theatrical, blending classic calligraphy with fashion editorial energy. Its dramatic contrast and flourished capitals convey sophistication, glamour, and a slightly romantic formality.
Designed to deliver a high-fashion, calligraphic display voice with strong contrast and expressive swashes. The overall intention appears to be refined impact rather than everyday text utility, emphasizing elegance and premium signaling in titles and brand marks.
Swash activity is most prominent in the uppercase and a handful of lowercase forms, creating strong start/stop gestures in words. Numerals follow the same contrast model and italic slant, pairing well with the letters in headline settings.
