A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered hairlines. Curves are clean and round, while diagonals and stems carry crisp, knife-like terminals that often flare subtly as they finish. The italic angle is consistent and relatively assertive, producing lively rhythm in text; spacing appears moderately tight with a smooth, continuous flow. Numerals and capitals show a display-minded elegance, with delicate horizontal strokes and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to magazine and book editorial work, fashion or lifestyle layouts, and high-impact headlines where its contrast can show clearly. It also fits luxury branding and refined packaging when used at comfortable sizes with adequate reproduction quality, and can serve as an expressive italic for pull quotes or titling.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and slanted forms read as stylish and cultured, leaning toward luxury and literary contexts rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with modern crispness—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and typographic drama for display and editorial typography.
The design balances razor-thin details with sturdy main strokes, creating a sparkling texture at larger sizes while remaining characterful in short passages. The italic construction feels purposeful rather than merely obliqued, with graceful entry/exit strokes and carefully controlled curvature that adds motion without becoming flamboyant.
