A sharply contrasted italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp, pointed terminals. Thick verticals and sweeping diagonals are paired with very fine hairlines, creating a bright, shimmering texture in text. Serifs are thin and tapered with minimal bracketing, and many lowercase forms show lively entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals. The rhythm is energetic and slightly narrow in feel, with uppercase forms standing tall and formal while the lowercase leans more fluid and cursive-adjacent.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and high-end branding where its fine hairlines and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial text in generous sizes and leading, but is most effective as an accent face for premium packaging, event materials, and formal stationery.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a dramatic, fashion-forward sparkle typical of display-oriented italics. It reads as cultured and classic, projecting sophistication rather than warmth or informality.
Likely designed to deliver a refined, high-fashion italic voice with strong contrast and crisp detailing, prioritizing elegance and visual impact in display settings while remaining coherent in short passages.
Capital letters maintain a disciplined, high-style silhouette, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curled terminals (notably in g, j, y, and z) and a gently swashed feel. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and look especially suited to larger sizes where hairlines won’t disappear.
