A sharply inclined serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins. Stems are narrow and taper into fine, bracketed serifs, while bowls and curves show a calligraphic stress that reinforces the diagonal rhythm. Capitals are tall and poised with long, delicate entry/exit strokes; several forms (notably Q, R, and the diagonal letters) use extended swashes that add flourish without becoming ornate. Lowercase is compact and flowing, with slender ascenders, smooth links, and crisp terminals that stay clean at display sizes. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic slant, with elegant curves and thin finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant invitations. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with generous size and leading, where its contrast and swash-like strokes remain crisp and legible.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, combining crisp precision with a graceful, handwritten energy. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italics convey sophistication and a sense of fashion-forward polish, leaning more toward headline elegance than utilitarian text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice within a classical serif framework—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive movement for impactful display settings.
Spacing appears intentionally airy, helping the hairlines and bracketing read clearly, while the strong diagonal movement creates a lively texture in paragraphs. The design relies on delicate details—especially in cross-strokes and terminals—so it rewards larger sizes and high-quality reproduction.
