A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction. Thick verticals and swelling curves are paired with hairline joins and needle-thin serifs, creating a bright, shimmering rhythm in text. The forms lean decisively to the right, with tapered entry/exit strokes, sharp terminals, and pointed apexes that give capitals a sculpted, formal presence. Lowercase shows fluid bowls and narrow connections, with a compact italic ‘f’ and a looped ‘g’, maintaining consistent contrast and a clean, refined texture across the alphabet and numerals.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, and brand-led layouts where an italic voice is meant to feel premium and intentional. It performs best in display and larger text applications where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a fashion-forward, editorial sheen. Its strong slant and dramatic contrast convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, while the sharp detailing adds a confident, high-end edge.
The design appears intended as a refined italic for high-impact typography, combining classical serif structure with heightened contrast and sharp finishing to deliver a modern editorial character.
In the text sample, the thin hairlines and tight joins create a lively sparkle that rewards generous sizing and comfortable leading. Numerals echo the same contrast and slanted stress, feeling cohesive alongside letters in display settings.
