A slanted serif with crisp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Curves are smooth and taut, with tapered joins and sharp terminals that give the letterforms a precise, cut-by-pen feel. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display, while the lowercase shows a flowing, slightly calligraphic construction with clear, open counters and a lively rightward momentum. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with slender diagonals and delicate finishing strokes that keep the set visually consistent.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, book jackets, and other print-forward compositions where contrast and refinement can be showcased. It also works effectively for invitations, luxury branding, and pull quotes or headlines, especially when paired with a calmer companion for long-form body copy.
The tone is polished and cultured, suggesting classic book typography and contemporary fashion/editorial styling at once. Its high-contrast sparkle and forward slant create a sense of sophistication and pace, reading as confident, formal, and expressive rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic serif with a classic foundation—balancing traditional proportions and sharp serifing with a lively, calligraphic slant for expressive, premium typography.
In text, the spacing and rhythm feel airy, with thin horizontals and fine serifs contributing to a bright page color. The italic angle and tapered detailing add emphasis naturally, making the face feel especially at home in settings where elegance and hierarchy matter.
