A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis, combining hairline connecting strokes with fuller shaded curves. Serifs are delicate and sharply cut, with tapered entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like terminals that add a stylized, handwritten finish. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, with fluid letterfit and a lively rhythm; capitals are elegant and open, while the lowercase shows strong italic motion and occasional flourished joins.
Well-suited to magazine and brand headlines, luxury packaging, beauty and fragrance identities, and invitations where an elevated italic voice is desired. It can also support short editorial passages, pull quotes, and titling where its high contrast and tight hairlines are given adequate size and printing conditions. Numerals and capitals have the presence to work in logos, cover lines, and premium labeling.
This typeface conveys a polished, fashion-forward elegance with a distinctly editorial tone. Its crisp, high-contrast calligraphic flow feels refined and confident, leaning toward luxe and romantic rather than utilitarian. The overall impression is sophisticated and expressive, with a touch of drama in its sharp terminals and sweeping curves.
The design appears intended to deliver a quintessential high-fashion italic voice: refined, high contrast, and visually agile in setting. It prioritizes elegance and expressive movement while maintaining recognizable, conventional serif forms suitable for polished typographic composition.
The sample text shows smooth italic flow and consistent contrast across letters, with distinctive swash-like details appearing in select lowercase forms. Figures follow the same calligraphic logic, pairing sharp stress with delicate hairlines for a cohesive set alongside the letters.
