A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines, fuller shaded strokes, and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs. Letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and show frequent entry/exit flicks, giving strokes a drawn, pen-driven feel. Curves are generous and polished, counters stay open, and spacing reads on the airy side, emphasizing a refined, sparkling texture in text. Capitals are relatively tall and poised, while numerals and punctuation match the same delicate hairline-to-stem modulation.
Best suited to fashion and culture magazines, luxury branding, and high-impact headlines where the contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes, invitations, and display typography that benefits from an elegant italic voice. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes with generous leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a couture-like sophistication and a distinctly dramatic sparkle from its hairlines. It feels formal and cultured—more suited to expressive, curated typography than utilitarian reading. The italic motion adds a sense of speed and flourish without becoming ornate.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice: crisp, refined, and visually theatrical. The emphasis on extreme stroke modulation and tapered terminals suggests an intent to evoke traditional calligraphic writing while maintaining a polished, modern editorial finish.
Several forms show pronounced tapering and thin connecting strokes (notably in letters like K, R, and y), which heighten the sense of finesse. The design maintains consistent contrast and curvature across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a cohesive, glossy page color at larger sizes.
