A sharply cut italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Curves are taut and polished, with long, clean entry strokes and tapered exits that create a smooth, forward rhythm. Serifs are fine and precise rather than bracketed, and many joins resolve into needlelike points, giving the letterforms a crisp, high-end finish. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, with a consistent slant and lively, calligraphic stroke flow across both roman capitals and the more cursive-feeling lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, pull quotes, luxury branding, cosmetics and fragrance packaging, and high-contrast editorial layouts. It also works well for refined invitations or event materials where an italic serif can carry both elegance and emphasis without additional styling.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its steep contrast and razor details add drama and sophistication, while the italic construction keeps it fluid and expressive rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to evoke modern high-fashion typography: an italic serif built around dramatic contrast, precise finishing, and a smooth, calligraphic cadence. It prioritizes sophistication and visual impact, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp joins can be fully appreciated.
In text, the sparkling hairlines and sharp terminals create a bright typographic color that reads as premium but can become delicate at small sizes or on low-resolution output. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast and angled stress, helping headlines maintain a cohesive, fashion-forward voice.
