A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant and a calligraphic stress, with crisp terminals and tapered joins that create a bright, sparkling texture in text. Proportions feel classically bookish: moderate x-height, relatively narrow lowercase, and tall ascenders/descenders, while capitals are stately and slightly wide with clean, sculpted curves. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and italic rhythm, pairing thin entry strokes with bold main stems.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book titling, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits refined branding, invitations, and packaging, particularly at display sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining classic sophistication with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its contrast and italic energy suggest formality and craft, evoking traditional publishing and upscale branding rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated settings, prioritizing elegance and expressive stroke modulation. Its sharp detailing and calligraphic flow aim to deliver a premium, literary feel in both capitals and text.
In the sample text, the rhythm is lively and slightly variable in color due to the extreme contrast: thick strokes anchor the line while hairlines and serifs add shimmer. The design reads best when given enough size and leading for the fine details to remain clear.
