A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. Stems are strongly slanted with a calligraphic feel, combining sharp triangular/bracketed serifs with smooth, rounded bowls and tapered joins. Capitals show a formal, inscriptional structure with narrow internal apertures, while lowercase forms are lively and fluid, with teardrop-like terminals and slightly varied character widths that create a dynamic rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast, sharply finished construction, reading best at medium to large sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and poster work where contrast and italic energy can take center stage. It also works as an accent face for pull quotes, subheads, or short passages that benefit from a luxurious, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-leaning sophistication. Its steep italic angle and dramatic contrast add a sense of motion and theatricality, balancing classical formality with a contemporary, display-forward flair.
Likely designed as a sophisticated italic serif for expressive display and editorial settings, prioritizing dramatic contrast, crisp finishing, and a stylish forward slant to convey refinement and momentum.
The design emphasizes sharp entry/exit strokes and cleanly cut terminals, producing strong sparkle and vertical emphasis in text. Spacing appears generous enough for headlines, but the delicate hairlines and tight counters suggest more confident use in larger settings than in small, dense text.
