A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairline serifs and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. The forms show a pronounced rightward slant, narrow joins, and clear thick–thin modulation with diagonal stress, giving an engraved, formal rhythm. Capitals are slender and poised with clean wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase carries a fluid cursive influence with long ascenders, compact counters, and delicately curved entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with light, elegant curves and minimal, precise terminals.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits book covers, luxury branding, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, particularly when set at medium-to-large sizes where the fine serifs and contrast remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, projecting a fashion-and-literary sensibility rather than an informal handwritten feel. Its crisp contrast and italic movement suggest luxury, ceremony, and editorial refinement, with a slightly dramatic presence in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end italic companion for refined typography, combining traditional serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic slant and sharp finishing details. Its emphasis on contrast and graceful movement suggests a focus on expressive emphasis in editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the strong modulation and hairline details create a bright, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the spacing feels open enough for elegant headlines while still reading as a conventional serif for short passages.
