A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. The forms lean with a smooth, calligraphic flow, pairing sharp wedge-like entry strokes with fine bracketed serifs and occasional ball terminals. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase shows lively, sculpted joins and tapered curves; overall spacing and rhythm create a dynamic, slightly variable texture across words. Numerals match the italic energy, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate hairlines and elegant curves.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, invitations, and campaign visuals. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where a refined, high-contrast italic voice is desired, especially in larger point sizes.
The tone is refined and dramatic, with a polished, editorial elegance that reads as premium and style-forward. Its energetic slant and sharp contrast add a sense of motion and sophistication, lending a poised, couture-like character to headlines.
The design appears intended to bring a classic, high-fashion italic serif look into modern layouts, emphasizing elegance through extreme stroke contrast and calligraphic movement. It prioritizes visual drama and polish over plain text neutrality, making it a strong choice for expressive editorial and brand statements.
Distinctive details include teardrop/ball-like terminals on select letters, sweeping italic curves, and very fine hairlines that emphasize a glossy, engraved feel. The design’s contrast and slant make it most striking at larger sizes, where the delicate strokes and tapered endings can fully resolve.
