A sharply inclined serif with pronounced vertical stress and a crisp hairline-to-stem relationship. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with lively italic modulation, creating a rhythmic, calligraphic flow across words. Serifs are fine and precise, with pointed terminals and clean joins that emphasize a polished, high-definition silhouette. The lowercase shows a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders, giving lines a tall, airy texture; figures appear equally slender and formal, matching the text color.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can work well for invitations, cultural programs, and book covers, especially at larger sizes where the fine detailing and sharp contrast read clearly.
The font communicates sophistication and restraint, with an editorial, luxury-leaning tone. Its brisk italic slant and delicate finishing suggest formality, poise, and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward flair rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a formal, high-style italic with a classic serif vocabulary and a conspicuous contrast profile. Its proportions and delicate finishing prioritize elegance and expressive emphasis over ruggedness or utilitarian text neutrality.
In the sample text, the spacing and stroke contrast create a sparkling texture where hairlines and thin entry/exit strokes become prominent at display sizes. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing an elegant forward motion suitable for emphasis and headline settings.
