A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and full, teardrop-like bowls. Serifs are fine and pointed, often reading as wedge-like terminals with a lightly calligraphic feel rather than blunt slabs. The italic axis is pronounced, with fluid entry/exit strokes and occasional swash tendencies in capitals and select lowercase forms. Overall proportions feel traditional and balanced, while letter widths vary naturally across the set, creating a lively rhythm in text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, elegant packaging, and invitation or certificate work. It can also serve as an accent italic in editorial layouts where contrast and sophistication are desired, especially at larger sizes where hairline details remain clear.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone—graceful and dramatic without becoming ornate. Its sharp contrast and flowing italic movement suggest couture/editorial sophistication and a literary, classical sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on a traditional italic serif, emphasizing dramatic contrast, crisp finishing, and a calligraphic cadence. It aims to feel premium and expressive while retaining the familiar structure of conventional serif letterforms for readability in short texts.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines create a sparkling texture at display sizes, with notable emphasis on curves and tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with distinctive stroke flicks and refined finishing details that reinforce a formal, stylish voice.
