A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines that taper into sharp, crisp serifs. Strokes alternate between sturdy stems and delicate connecting lines, creating a bright, airy texture in text. The italic construction is calligraphic in rhythm with flowing entry/exit strokes, while counters remain relatively open and the overall proportions feel slightly tall and poised. Curves are smoothly tensioned and terminals are clean and precise, giving the letterforms a sculpted, polished finish.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, and brand-led typography where elegance and contrast are desirable. It also fits invitations and formal materials, and works well for short passages set with generous size and spacing where the hairlines can remain clear.
The font reads as refined and cultured, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward tone. Its delicate detailing and sweeping italic motion suggest luxury, ceremony, and classical sophistication rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice rooted in classical high-contrast serif principles. Its goal is visual drama and refinement through sharp serifs, strong thick–thin modulation, and a continuous, graceful cursive rhythm.
In the sample text, the thin linking strokes and tight hairlines become a defining feature, producing a sparkling page color at larger sizes. Numerals share the same elegant contrast and italic slant, with curled details that echo the lowercase’s flowing movement.
