A high-contrast serif italic with elegant, hairline-thin serifs and sharply tapered terminals. The strokes show calligraphic stress and a consistent rightward slant, with thick verticals and very fine connecting strokes that create a crisp, sparkling texture. Proportions lean toward relatively large capitals and open counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height and lively rhythm. Figures and letters follow the same contrast and slanted axis, producing a cohesive, polished typographic color at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, and short display settings where its contrast and italic energy can shine. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers, especially when paired with a quieter roman or sans for longer text.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone—confident, stylish, and slightly dramatic. Its glossy contrast and poised italic movement suggest luxury and sophistication, with a classic literary underpinning rather than a casual or utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice in italic form, emphasizing contrast, elegance, and expressive movement for contemporary editorial and brand applications.
Letterforms show pronounced modulation and delicate joins that will read best when given enough size and breathing room. The overall spacing and slanted forms create a forward-moving cadence, while the sharp serifs and thin horizontals add a crisp, formal finish.
