A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic flow, showing tapered entry/exit strokes, crisp terminals, and elegant curves—especially in round glyphs and the S- and C-like shapes. Capitals feel sculpted and slightly narrow with long, clean diagonals, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a moderate x-height, compact counters, and lively, pointed joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast, with distinctive, swooping forms that read best at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and brand marks where contrast and motion can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and event materials, and works well for short editorial subheads when set with generous tracking and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is polished and glamorous, evoking fashion mastheads and high-end editorial typography. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement create a sense of sophistication and urgency, balancing classic elegance with a contemporary, image-forward attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a couture-like finish, emphasizing elegance, speed, and visual drama for display-driven typography.
In longer lines, the strong diagonal stress and hairline details create a shimmering texture, with standout shapes in letters like Q, R, and the swash-like italic constructions of v/w/x/y. The thinnest strokes and sharp joins suggest careful sizing for reproduction conditions where fine details can be preserved.
