A crisp italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Stems swell into bold main strokes while terminals resolve into hairline serifs and tapered ends, creating sharp joins and a bright, glossy texture on the page. The overall proportions are compact and tall, with rounded letters showing vertical stress and narrow apertures; capitals carry sweeping entry strokes and controlled curves, while lowercase forms keep a consistent slant and tight rhythm. Numerals echo the same contrast, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that feel drawn rather than purely geometric.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, luxury branding, invitations, and poster titling. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and leading, but its fine details and tight forms favor larger settings and high-quality output.
The font projects a luxurious, editorial tone—polished and dramatic without becoming ornate. Its strong contrast and flowing italic energy suggest couture branding, literary sophistication, and classic print refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic italic with pronounced contrast and refined finishing, optimizing for elegance and impact in high-end editorial and branding contexts.
At text sizes the hairlines and tight counters can create a sparkling, high-contrast texture, making spacing and background color especially influential. The italic angle is steady and the stroke endings are consistently sharpened, reinforcing a deliberate, formal voice.
