A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, tapered main strokes. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often hairline-like, with pointed terminals and subtle bracketing where strokes meet. The italics show a consistent rightward slant and a calligraphic flow, with open counters and a lively rhythm that varies in width across letters. Uppercase forms feel stately and sculpted, while lowercase includes traditional italic constructions such as a single-storey a and a looped g, plus long, graceful ascenders and descenders.
This style is best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also serve well on book covers, cultural posters, and formal invitations, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body copy and when used at sizes that protect the thin details.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, conveying a sense of luxury and editorial sophistication. Its crisp contrast and sweeping italic forms add drama and momentum, producing a poised, classic voice that feels at home in fashion-leaning and literary contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, fashion-forward italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a graceful, calligraphic cadence. It prioritizes elegance and expressiveness over neutrality, aiming to deliver a premium, attention-getting texture in display and editorial settings.
Numerals follow the same display-leaning logic, with strong thick–thin transitions and stylized curves (notably in 2, 3, and 9). The texture in text is airy and sparkling rather than dense, and the strongest presence comes from larger sizes where the fine hairlines can remain clear.
