A sharply slanted serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms feel calligraphic in their stress and tapering, with compact joins and small, finely cut serifs that often resolve into wedge-like points. Proportions are generally tall and high-waisted, with narrow apertures and a lively rhythm created by sweeping diagonals and slightly varying character widths across the set. Curves are taut and polished, and the overall texture reads light and sparkling due to the abundance of hairlines.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging. It can also work for short, high-impact text in posters and invitations where its hairlines and contrast can print or render cleanly; it is less appropriate for small sizes or low-resolution environments where delicate strokes may break down.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone associated with high-end editorial and fashion typography. Its pronounced contrast and italic energy give it a dramatic, stylish voice that feels formal, cultured, and a touch theatrical—well suited to expressive, premium messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with an editorial sensibility—combining traditional serif structure with refined, contemporary polish. Its goal seems to be expressive elegance: strong hierarchy, stylish motion, and a luxurious typographic color.
Several lowercase forms show distinctive, slightly swashy details (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z), adding personality without becoming overtly decorative. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that prioritize sophistication over utilitarian sturdiness.
