This is a sharply contrasted italic serif with a strong rightward slant and crisp, needle-like hairlines against dense main strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed, often appearing as tapered, blade-like terminals with minimal bracketing, giving contours a precise, cut-paper feel. The design shows a lively, calligraphic rhythm: joins narrow to hairline pinch points, curves swell quickly into thick strokes, and many letters end in subtly extended, sweeping terminals. Proportions read on the wider side overall, with open counters and a slightly elastic, glyph-to-glyph width that adds motion in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and sharp terminals can remain intact: fashion and lifestyle magazine headlines, luxury branding, perfume/beauty packaging, and high-end event materials. It can also work for short, prominent pull quotes or titling where a sophisticated italic voice is desired.
The tone is elegant and high-drama, with a distinctly couture/editorial character. Its sheen comes from the extreme thick–thin modulation and razor detailing, which feels upscale, theatrical, and intentionally attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion italic with classic high-contrast roots, emphasizing sharpness, motion, and premium polish. It prioritizes visual impact and elegance in display settings while maintaining a readable, flowing texture for short text runs.
Uppercase forms project a formal, display-led presence, while lowercase introduces more flourish through curved entry strokes and occasional swashy endings (notably in letters like f, j, and y). Numerals follow the same italic sweep and contrast, reading stylish and expressive rather than strictly tabular.
