A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Strokes show a consistent rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic flow, with tapered entries and exits that often finish in small ball or teardrop terminals. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide with crisp triangular serifs, while lowercase forms are more animated, featuring long extenders and a rhythmic alternation between sturdy stems and delicate hairlines. Numerals match the italic texture, with open counters and thin connecting strokes that keep the overall color light and airy.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book jackets, pull quotes, and magazine typography where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve upscale invitations and branding elements, particularly for headings, subheads, and short passages where the fine hairlines and high contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classical formality with a lively, expressive italic rhythm. Its sharp contrast and delicate detailing lend a sense of luxury and drama, while the steady construction keeps it composed rather than whimsical.
Likely designed to provide a sophisticated italic companion or primary text face with a distinctly high-contrast, fashion-forward presence. The intent appears to balance classical serif structure with calligraphic liveliness for expressive emphasis in refined typography.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright page and a sparkling texture, especially in all-caps or at display sizes. The italic angle is assertive but controlled, and the recurring ball terminals help unify the lowercase and punctuation-like details across the set.
