A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and broad, tapered main strokes. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with a distinctly calligraphic, diagonal-stress rhythm that gives the text a forward, fluid motion. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in their set with lively stroke modulation, and several characters feature delicate entry/exit swashes and teardrop/ball-like terminals. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, mixing firm vertical strokes with elegant, hairline curves for a cohesive, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty/fashion collateral, and refined event materials such as invitations or programs, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking editorial sophistication and classic luxury. Its dramatic contrast and energetic slant feel expressive and theatrical while still reading as traditional and restrained rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a fashion-forward sheen—prioritizing elegance, motion, and a crisp, high-end finish for display typography.
The texture on the page is light and sparkling due to the extremely fine hairlines, with strong thick–thin alternation that becomes most prominent at larger sizes. Curves (notably in S, C, Q, and the lowercase) show a pronounced, pen-driven sweep, giving word shapes a graceful, slightly flamboyant cadence without heavy ornamentation.
