A sharply contrasted italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm. Thick strokes sit against extremely fine hairlines, with predominantly vertical stress in round forms and crisp, delicate serifs that read as thin wedges rather than heavy brackets. Capitals are tall and poised with narrow joins and long, clean curves; the italic construction shows clearly in letters like A, K, N, V, and W with tapered entries and exits. Lowercase forms are compact and smooth, with slender ascenders/descenders and small, neat counters; the f and j carry pronounced descenders, and the g uses a two-storey structure with a tight link. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted stance, with open curves and hairline horizontals that emphasize a light, high-fashion texture in text.
Well-suited to magazine features, display headlines, pull quotes, and fashion or luxury branding where dramatic contrast and an elegant italic voice are desirable. It can also work for refined invitations, packaging accents, and title treatments, especially when set with generous size and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, evoking boutique editorial typography and classic high-style printing. Its sharp contrast and disciplined italic flow feel formal and sophisticated, more suited to expressive typographic moments than utilitarian reading at small sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif for editorial and branding use, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a bright, sophisticated typographic color over ruggedness or small-size practicality.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, creating a lively diagonal movement in words. Spacing appears measured and slightly airy, letting the hairlines breathe; the result is a bright page color with strong thick–thin sparkle. Fine details in joins and serifs suggest best performance at moderate to large sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
