A sharply slanted high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, filament-like hairlines. The letterforms show a vertical stress and an overall calligraphic rhythm, with tapered entry/exit strokes and fine, pointed terminals. Serifs are delicate and minimally bracketed, often appearing as thin wedges or hairline flicks that reinforce the italic motion. Uppercase forms feel wide and sculptural with ample interior space, while the lowercase is fluid and cursive-leaning with single-storey a and g, long extenders, and tight, high-contrast joins.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, brand marks, and high-end packaging where its hairline refinement can be preserved. It also works well for pull quotes, chapter openers, and short titling in editorial or cultural contexts.
The tone is polished and dramatic, combining couture elegance with a literary, romantic flair. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics convey exclusivity and sophistication, while the lively stroke energy keeps it expressive rather than restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice—pairing classical high-contrast construction with contemporary sharpness and a distinctly expressive slant for impactful display typography.
At display sizes the fine detailing reads as precise and luxurious; in smaller settings, the hairlines and tight joins may call for generous size and careful contrast management. Numerals echo the same italic calligraphy, with curved figures and thin, pointed terminals that match the overall sheen.
