A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strongly tapered, sculpted stems. The design shows pronounced diagonal stress and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with pointed entry/exit strokes and sharp, wedge-like serifs that often resolve into delicate flicks. Capitals feel slightly narrow and formal, while the lowercase introduces more movement through flowing joins, extended terminals, and occasional swashy shapes (notably in letters like w and z). Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and fine finishing details that read best when given adequate size and spacing.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and italics can be appreciated. It also fits formal communication—invites, programs, and certificates—when paired with generous whitespace and careful tracking for clarity.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, evoking fashion mastheads, literary elegance, and old-world refinement. Its dramatic contrast and italic motion add theatricality and romance, making the texture feel expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical italic serifs: dramatic contrast for impact, refined details for sophistication, and selective swashiness to add expressive flair in short text.
The sharp joins and extremely fine hairlines create a sparkling page color in larger settings, but the delicate details suggest it will be most convincing where printing or rendering can preserve thin strokes. Distinctive swash-like terminals in parts of the lowercase add personality and can turn simple words into display moments.
