A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a clear vertical stress. Strokes transition to very fine hairlines, with crisp, unbracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep the forms light and precise. The italic construction shows a consistent rightward slant and a smooth, continuous rhythm; capitals feel stately and slightly narrow while the lowercase maintains moderate proportions with clean joins and neatly shaped bowls. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate finishing strokes for a polished, editorial texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and elegant titling where its high-contrast italic character can shine. It fits magazine and book display settings, luxury branding, and formal materials such as invitations or certificates. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger text sizes and with generous leading to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and aspirational, leaning toward fashion and literary refinement rather than casual warmth. Its sharp detailing and shimmering contrast evoke luxury, ceremony, and a curated, high-end voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classic contrasty serif italics, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. It aims to provide a distinctive italic voice for display typography that feels premium and editorial.
In text, the strong contrast creates an animated sparkle at larger sizes, while the fine hairlines and pointed terminals make spacing and line breaks feel especially important for maintaining clarity. The design reads best when given breathing room and printed or displayed with sufficient resolution to preserve the delicate details.
