A refined serif italic with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are sharp and bracketless to lightly bracketed in feel, with wedge-like terminals and a pronounced rightward slant. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while joins and stroke endings come to fine points that heighten the overall sparkle. Proportions feel traditional with a moderate x-height, compact counters, and slightly narrow, lively rhythm across the line.
Well suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and cultured branding where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or elegance. It performs especially well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short paragraphs where the high contrast can be appreciated. For long-form reading, it works best at moderate sizes with ample leading to preserve clarity of the hairlines.
The tone is polished and upscale, projecting sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its contrast and italic flow give it a theatrical, expressive energy that still reads as formal and curated. The overall impression is timeless and cultured, with a distinctly editorial voice.
Designed to provide a classic, high-fashion italic companion for sophisticated typography, combining traditional serif structure with dramatic contrast for a luminous page color. The intention appears to balance readability with expressive flair, making it useful both for editorial emphasis and for standalone display settings.
Uppercase forms have a stately presence with generous internal space in round letters and crisp, thin cross-strokes where applicable. Lowercase shows a calligraphic cadence with single-storey forms where expected and a delicate, angled entry/exit behavior. Numerals share the same high-contrast structure, pairing bold stems with hairline curves that read best at comfortable display and text sizes rather than at very small settings.
