A slender, high-contrast serif italic with crisp hairlines, fuller verticals, and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered entry strokes and delicate terminals that give the letterforms a polished, engraved feel. The italic construction is clear across both cases: capitals are stately and slightly narrow with sweeping diagonals, while lowercase forms show lively curvature, narrow apertures, and long, graceful extenders. Figures follow the same contrast and slant, reading cleanly with elegant stroke modulation and poised proportions.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and formal invitations where high contrast and fine detailing can shine. It can also work for short editorial passages and titling, especially at comfortable sizes where the delicate hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sparkle comes from the extreme contrast and precise detailing, projecting luxury, restraint, and a classic literary atmosphere rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif italics—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and refined movement for editorial and premium brand communication.
In text, the slanted serif details create a flowing line that feels airy and bright, while the thin hairlines and sharp joins add a crisp, high-end finish. The capitals have a ceremonial presence, and the lowercase italic introduces a more expressive, handwritten cadence without losing typographic discipline.
