This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are sharp and hairline-like, with a calligraphic, swept construction that keeps strokes lively and directional. Proportions feel classical with relatively narrow capitals, a slightly high waist in some forms, and a consistent rightward slant that drives an energetic rhythm across text. Lowercase shows smooth, rounded bowls and clean joins, with delicate entry/exit strokes that maintain an airy, polished texture in paragraphs.
It performs best in display to medium text settings where its contrast and italic rhythm can be appreciated—editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine typography, and high-end branding or packaging. It can also work for formal collateral such as invitations or certificates when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and sophisticated, leaning toward editorial and fashion sensibilities rather than utilitarian text. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement give it a cultured, literary feel suited to expressive typography and premium presentation.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic serif voice with heightened elegance and visual sparkle, balancing traditional letterform structure with a more fashion-oriented, high-contrast finish for contemporary editorial use.
Figures and punctuation follow the same sharp, high-contrast language, helping mixed text feel cohesive. The italic construction remains consistent across caps and lowercase, creating a continuous, flowing line that reads as intentional and designed rather than merely slanted.
