This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward-leaning, calligraphic construction. Stems are robust and rounded in the heavy strokes, while hairlines taper sharply into pointed, wedge-like serifs and terminals. The letterforms show a lively rhythm with slightly variable character widths and generous curvature, producing strong internal movement across words. Numerals and capitals follow the same crisp, tapered logic, with sharp entry/exit strokes and clean joins that emphasize the diagonal stress typical of an italic.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand touchpoints where an elegant italic serif can carry the visual identity. It can also work for short subheads or lead-ins when set with ample size and comfortable spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, evoking fashion publishing and premium branding. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves feel expressive and sophisticated, giving text a confident, cultivated voice rather than a quiet, utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic with classic serif cues, prioritizing glamour, motion, and strong typographic color in display settings. Its tapered serifs and sharpened terminals suggest a focus on expressive sophistication over neutral long-form readability.
In the sample text, the contrast and pointed terminals create a sparkling texture that reads best at display sizes; in denser settings the hairlines and tight italic joins can become visually busy. The dot forms and many terminals are distinctly teardrop/needle-like, reinforcing the crisp, stylized character.
