A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Serifs are fine and tapered, with a calligraphic, pen-driven feel and noticeable diagonal stress in rounded forms. Uppercase proportions are classical and slightly narrow, while the italic slant is consistent and moderately steep, creating a lively forward rhythm. Curves are smooth and polished, joins are crisp, and counters stay relatively open, supporting readability despite the delicate hairlines.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book titles, pull quotes, and elegant subheads where italic emphasis is central to the voice. It can also work for formal communications—programs, invitations, and luxury branding—especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs remain crisp.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and literary flavor. Its glossy contrast and italic motion suggest sophistication and ceremony, leaning toward luxury and tradition rather than casual friendliness.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif experience with dramatic contrast and a polished, high-end finish. The intention reads as a conventional text-serif foundation pushed toward expressive, fashion-forward elegance for emphasis, titling, and refined reading environments.
The numerals and capitals carry a display-like sparkle due to the extreme contrast, while lowercase italics show energetic shapes and brisk terminals that keep text feeling animated. Spacing appears even and measured in the sample paragraphs, though the thinnest strokes will naturally be more sensitive to size and reproduction conditions.
