An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines, giving strokes a sharp, polished edge. Letterforms are slightly expansive with generous spacing and a steady rightward slant, while terminals often taper to fine points. Serifs are delicate and largely bracketed, and many lowercase forms show calligraphic influence in their entry/exit strokes, producing a lively rhythm. Numerals and caps maintain the same high-contrast logic, with smooth curves and thin joins that emphasize elegance over sturdiness.
Well suited to magazine typography, large headlines, and brand identities that need an elevated, premium voice. It also fits invitations and upscale packaging where high contrast and elegant italics can be used at comfortable sizes with ample space.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a poised, high-fashion sheen and a distinctly dramatic contrast. Its flowing italic gestures add sophistication and a hint of romance, while the sharp hairlines keep it crisp and contemporary.
This font appears designed to deliver a sleek, high-contrast italic with classic serif structure and a fashion-forward finish. The intention emphasizes elegance and visual drama, prioritizing refined shapes and energetic cursive motion for striking display and editorial settings.
The design relies on very fine details—hairline cross-strokes and thin serifs—so it reads most confidently at display sizes or in high-quality printing. Rounded letters like O and Q show a refined, sculpted stress, and several glyphs feature subtly swashed terminals that increase sparkle and movement in text.
