A sharply contrasted italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, hairline details. Strokes swing between thick, teardrop-like stems and extremely fine connecting lines, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are narrow and keen, often reading as pointed terminals rather than heavy brackets, and many forms show tapered entries and exits. The lowercase is fluid and compact with looping descenders (notably in g, y, and z), while the uppercase is high-waisted and sculpted, balancing broad curves against razor-thin diagonals. Numerals follow the same display-like logic, with strong modulation and delicate hairlines that favor larger settings.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated at size. It fits fashion and lifestyle editorial work, luxury branding, packaging, and invitation or event materials. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably in larger text sizes and with generous spacing to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical—more runway/editorial than utilitarian. Its sparkling hairlines and sweeping italic motion convey sophistication and a sense of cultivated tradition, with a modern, fashion-magazine edge. The dramatic contrast adds a touch of ceremony and exclusivity.
The design appears intended as a high-style italic for sophisticated display settings, emphasizing elegance, movement, and contrast over neutrality. It aims to evoke classic Didone-like refinement while adding a more calligraphic, expressive italic flavor for distinctive branding and editorial voice.
In text, the italic angle and strong modulation create a continuous, forward-moving texture; counters stay relatively open but the finest strokes can visually recede, especially where curves pinch into hairlines. The design shows consistent pen-like logic across letters, with expressive terminals and occasional swash-like curls in the lowercase that increase personality and visual flair.
