A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and prominent, rounded main strokes. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, with wedge-like terminals and a crisp, engraved feel. The italic construction shows pronounced slanted stress, energetic entry/exit strokes, and a lively rhythm; capitals are broad and sweeping while lowercase forms carry distinctive swashes in letters like g, y, and f. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and delicate connecting strokes.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine-style subheads, and pull quotes where high contrast can shine. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitation work that benefits from a refined italic voice. For longer passages, it will perform best at comfortable sizes and in high-quality output where hairlines remain intact.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking editorial sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward voice. Its sparkling contrast and flowing italic forms give it a confident, literary elegance suited to expressive, curated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif with a bright, refined contrast profile and expressive cursive energy. Its wide, sweeping capitals and sculpted lowercase aim to add elegance and emphasis in display and editorial settings while maintaining a conventional serif foundation.
Spacing appears intentionally open for an italic of this contrast level, helping keep counters clear in text, while the sharp hairlines make the design feel best when not overly reduced. The italic is the primary personality driver here, with a consistent rightward momentum across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
