A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems and curves swing between thick verticals and extremely fine connecting strokes, creating a bright, shimmering texture in text. Capitals are relatively compact with sharp, tapered terminals and refined bracketless serifs; round letters show thin, delicate joins and a slightly pointed, lively rhythm. Lowercase forms are slanted and fluid, with small, neat entry/exit strokes, ball-like terminals on some letters, and a modest x-height that keeps counters open while emphasizing ascenders and descenders.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine features, headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where the hairlines can remain crisp. It can also work for short-form reading—introductions, section openers, and book jacket copy—when set with comfortable size and line spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, pairing classical refinement with a distinctly dramatic, high-fashion sparkle. Its italic posture and razor-thin details lend a sense of motion and sophistication that feels ceremonial, literary, and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice for sophisticated typography, emphasizing elegance and drama through sharp serifs, extreme stroke modulation, and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates clear word shapes at larger sizes, while the finest hairlines and serifs become a defining visual feature that benefits from careful reproduction and generous spacing. Figures follow the same contrast and italic cadence, with elegant curves and thin joins that echo the letterforms.
