This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif italic with a strongly calligraphic skeleton. Thick-to-thin transitions are pronounced, with hairline joins and finely tapered terminals, while serifs read as sharp, lightly bracketed wedges. The italic angle is consistent and energetic, and many forms show a subtly tilted stress that reinforces the written-influence rhythm. Counters are generous and open, and the overall color on the page is bright and airy, with narrow hairlines creating a crisp, polished texture in text.
It performs best in editorial typography where italic voice is central—magazine features, book typography for emphasis, pull quotes, and refined captions. The high-contrast detailing also suits luxury branding, packaging, and invitations, especially at sizes where the hairlines can remain clear and the elegance of the strokes is preserved.
The tone is poised and cultivated, combining editorial sophistication with a distinctly fashion-leaning elegance. Its sparkle and sharp detailing feel premium and ceremonial, suited to settings where refinement and taste are the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, premium italic for contemporary publishing and branding, prioritizing grace, contrast-driven sparkle, and a confident, calligraphic cadence over utilitarian neutrality.
Capitals show a classical proportioning with crisp entry and exit strokes, while the lowercase leans into flowing italic construction with long ascenders and graceful curves. Numerals match the italic ductus and maintain the same hairline delicacy, giving figures a refined, display-friendly presence.
