A high-contrast serif italic with crisp hairlines, swelling curves, and sharp, wedge-like bracketed serifs. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively rhythm driven by thin entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals. Capitals feel formal and sculpted, while the lowercase shows fluid italic construction with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a compact, even x-height relative to the tall ascenders and long descenders. Numerals follow the same contrasty, calligraphic logic, with delicate horizontals and rounded bowls that keep the texture light and sparkling in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and cultural or fashion-oriented layouts where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and invitation systems when used for headlines, short phrases, and emphasis. For longer passages, it works best with generous size and careful reproduction to preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp contrast and graceful italic movement convey sophistication and a sense of tradition, leaning toward luxury and literary refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The font appears intended as a classic, high-fashion text serif italic that delivers refinement and sparkle through strong contrast and calligraphic detailing. It’s designed to add emphasis and prestige in typographic systems, providing an expressive italic that reads as timeless and editorial.
The design relies on fine hairlines and small details, which create a bright page color at display sizes but can become fragile as sizes shrink or on low-resolution output. The italic shows expressive stroke endings and a slightly theatrical flair in letters with long diagonals and sweeping curves, giving headlines and pull quotes a confident, stylish presence.
