A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like finishes and the curves carry a diagonal stress, giving bowls and counters a dynamic, forward-leaning flow. The uppercase shows crisp proportions and strong vertical presence, while the lowercase is more fluid with compact joins and tapered entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrasty, slanted construction, with refined curves and narrow hairlines that emphasize an elegant silhouette.
Well suited to magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and italic energy can lead the eye. It can add a premium tone to book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a refined, fashion-forward voice. In longer passages it works best for short editorial bursts or highlighted text where its sparkle and slant enhance emphasis.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, balancing refinement with a slightly theatrical flair. Its steep italic angle and razor-thin hairlines convey luxury and motion, evoking fashion, magazine, and literary aesthetics rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic text-serif voice with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic, display-ready sheen. It prioritizes elegance, momentum, and sharp typographic detail for editorial and brand-forward applications.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature, creating a polished sparkle on the page. In denser settings, the strong contrast and slanted forms can visually tighten spacing, so the design reads best when given room to breathe.
