A high-contrast serif italic with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered, bracketless serifs that give strokes a crisp, engraved feel. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with lively, calligraphic modulation: thick verticals swell confidently while joins and terminals resolve into fine points. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively open, and the slanted rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic flow, reading as display-oriented with delicate connections and pronounced stress.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and larger editorial typography where its contrast and fine detailing can stay intact. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and invitation-style applications that benefit from a refined italic voice; for long passages, generous size and careful printing/display conditions help preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, projecting a poised, fashion-forward formality. Its sharp hairlines and italic sweep suggest sophistication and a sense of movement, leaning more toward couture and magazine aesthetics than utilitarian text neutrality.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for classical serif typography, emphasizing sharp contrast, chic rhythm, and a luxurious surface. It is drawn to deliver strong visual sparkle and high-end tone in display and editorial settings.
In continuous text the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, airy texture with strong thick–thin sparkle. The capitals feel stately and sculpted, while the lowercase maintains a graceful, slightly calligraphic cadence that emphasizes elegance over ruggedness.
