This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in bold, curved main strokes. Serifs are small and refined, often wedge-like and lightly bracketed, with pointed terminals that accent the forward slant. The letterforms show a slightly expanded, elegant set with flowing curves and a crisp, polished finish; lowercase features include a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and long, lively ascenders and descenders. Figures follow the same calligraphic contrast, with narrow joins and angled stress that keeps the texture bright and animated at display sizes.
It suits editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where an elegant italic voice is desired. The strong contrast and sharp detailing make it particularly effective for fashion, beauty, and luxury applications, as well as posters, invitations, and short prominent text where refinement and impact matter more than long-form neutrality.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-led, with a sense of drama created by the strong thick–thin rhythm and sharp finishing details. It reads as refined and expressive rather than neutral, bringing a premium, editorial voice to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium italic serif with a calligraphic sensibility—emphasizing contrast, sharp terminals, and flowing proportions to create an expressive, headline-forward texture.
The italic construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a strong rightward motion and a distinctive, sparkling texture. The design relies on delicate hairlines and pointed terminals, so spacing and size will strongly influence perceived crispness and readability.
