A high-contrast serif italic with sculpted, tapered strokes and crisp hairline serifs. The design shows strong thick–thin modulation, with sharp wedge terminals and delicate cross-strokes that create a refined, glossy texture in text. Counters are generally compact and the letterforms feel slightly expanded, giving lines a confident, display-forward rhythm while maintaining conventional serif structure. Several glyphs feature subtle calligraphic quirks—such as curved entry strokes, pointed joins, and occasional swash-like tails—adding movement to the italic flow.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, titling, and brand expressions that benefit from high contrast and an elegant italic voice. It can also work for short subheads or premium packaging copy when set with ample size and spacing to preserve the fine serifs and thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, pairing classical sophistication with a modern, fashion-led edge. Its steep contrast and lively italic slant lend a sense of luxury, drama, and headline energy rather than quiet neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a luxurious, high-fashion italic serif look with pronounced contrast and crisp detailing, emphasizing expressive rhythm and visual sophistication for display typography.
In the sample text, the hairline details and tight internal shapes produce a sparkling texture that rewards generous sizing and good reproduction. Numerals share the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curled terminals on figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9 reinforcing the ornamental, editorial character.
