A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Strokes are strongly tapered with crisp terminals, and the overall construction follows a calligraphic logic with a consistent rightward slant. Proportions feel fairly traditional, with a moderate x-height and narrow, elegant lowercase forms; capitals are stately and slightly wider, with clean, bracketed serif joins and smooth curves. Numerals are similarly contrasty and italicized, with flowing forms that match the text rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, fashion or beauty branding, and refined packaging where a high-contrast italic can add elegance and momentum. It also works for book titles, pull quotes, and headlines that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice.
The tone is polished and expressive, leaning toward classic luxury and editorial sophistication. Its steep contrast and italic energy give it a dramatic, stylish presence while still reading as rooted in conventional book and magazine typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic for sophisticated typography, combining classic serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic slant for emphasis and elegance in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing and rhythm emphasize a lively diagonal flow, with open counters and fine entry/exit strokes that create sparkle at display sizes. The most delicate hairlines and thin serifs suggest it will look best when reproduction quality is high and sizes are not too small.
