A high-contrast italic serif with a polished, calligraphic construction and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms lean with a consistent forward slant and show pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving stems a sculpted look and hairlines a delicate, razor-like presence. Serifs are finely bracketed and often end in sharp points, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) feel taut and elegantly drawn rather than soft or rounded. Lowercase forms maintain a traditional, readable structure with flowing joins and a slightly generous fit that creates an airy, upscale texture in lines of text.
Well suited to magazine and editorial design, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and sophisticated headlines where contrast and italic motion can carry the voice. It can also work for pull quotes and short-form setting when a refined, high-impact serif is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a dramatic, editorial energy that reads as cultured and intentional. Its sharp hairlines and poised rhythm evoke fashion and magazine typography, while the classical serif structure keeps it grounded and literary rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a contemporary, polished finish—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and expressive diagonal rhythm for premium editorial and branding use.
Figures follow the same italic logic, with old-style nuances in curvature and strong contrast that makes numerals feel expressive in display settings. In continuous text, the thin strokes and pointed details add sparkle, but the visual emphasis remains on refined silhouette and lively diagonal movement.
