A refined italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a pronounced forward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered strokes, sharp wedge-like terminals, and delicate bracketed serifs that often resolve into needle points. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters feel open, and capitals are sculpted and slightly narrow with crisp joins and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and slanted construction, reading as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can breathe: magazine titles, fashion or beauty campaigns, premium packaging, and elegant event materials. It also works well for short italic passages such as pull quotes, intros, and display subheads, pairing naturally with a steadier roman text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking fashion publishing and high-end branding. Its dramatic contrast and sleek italic movement convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, with a slightly theatrical, premium feel in headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast italic voice for display typography, prioritizing elegance and expressive stroke movement over rugged small-size utility. Its proportions and finishing details suggest an emphasis on refined branding and editorial impact.
In text settings the strong diagonal stress and fine hairlines create a lively, shimmering texture, especially where strokes overlap or meet at tight joints. The more ornate shapes (notably in curved capitals and the ampersand) add personality, while the consistent contrast and slant keep the system visually cohesive across cases and figures.
