A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and dense, sculpted main strokes. The letterforms lean noticeably, with crisp, knife-edge serifs and pointed terminals that create a sleek, cut-paper silhouette. Curves are generous and rounded, while joins and shoulders snap into thin connecting strokes, producing a lively rhythm and strong black–white interplay. Uppercase proportions feel expansive and confident, and the lowercase includes a few more expressive shapes and tails (notably in letters like f, j, y, and z), giving the design a distinctly display-oriented personality.
Best suited for large-size applications such as magazine headlines, brand marks, fashion and beauty packaging, premium invitations, and striking poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or hero text where the sharp contrast and italic momentum can be appreciated without losing delicate details.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, with a runway/editorial sensibility that reads premium and attention-seeking. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italics add a sense of motion and flair, leaning toward romantic, theatrical sophistication rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice: elegant at a glance, but with amplified contrast and stylized terminals to ensure strong shelf and headline impact. It prioritizes expressive silhouette and luxurious tension over neutral text readability.
The font’s sparkle comes from extreme stroke modulation: wide, dark stems sit alongside near-hairline cross-strokes that can visually disappear at smaller sizes. Several glyphs show stylized terminals and curved hooks that heighten character, especially in the lowercase and numerals.
