A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs that often terminate in pointed, slightly bracketed wedges. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a calligraphic, stroke-driven construction, with narrow hairlines and fuller vertical stems creating a sparkling texture. Capitals are elegant and sculpted with sweeping curves (notably in C, G, Q, and S), while the lowercase mixes firm verticals with tapered joins and delicate entry/exit strokes, keeping counters open and the x-height moderate. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic rhythm, with sharp terminals and smooth, continuous curves.
Best suited to large-size typography such as headlines, magazine features, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short passages in high-quality print or carefully rendered digital layouts, especially in luxury, beauty, culture, and arts contexts.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining classical bookish cues with a distinctly fashion-forward, editorial sheen. Its sharp hairlines and dramatic contrast feel ceremonial and sophisticated, lending an air of exclusivity and high-end restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional serif italic, emphasizing dramatic contrast, elegant curves, and razor-thin detailing for premium editorial and branding applications.
The italic slant is integrated into the design rather than feeling mechanically skewed, with curves and serifs shaped to maintain balance. Spacing reads airy in display sizes, and the design relies on clean reproduction of fine hairlines, which become a defining part of its character.
