A crisp, high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline serifs. Forms are narrow-to-moderate in stance with a consistent rightward slant, smooth curves, and sharp, tapered terminals that create a polished, engraved feel. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows lively, calligraphic movement with flowing joins and slender ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same contrasty, sculpted logic, reading clearly while retaining an elegant, display-oriented delicacy.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, fashion branding, and elegant titling where an expressive italic can carry tone. It can also work for short bursts of text—such as intros, captions, or formal materials—when size and rendering allow the fine details to remain intact.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, evoking editorial refinement and a sense of luxury. Its dramatic contrast and italic rhythm communicate formality and style, with a slightly theatrical, fashion-forward flair.
Likely designed to deliver a refined, high-contrast italic voice for contemporary editorial and brand communication, pairing classical serif structure with a dramatic, modern sparkle. The emphasis appears to be on stylish readability and a premium look rather than rugged, utilitarian text setting.
The spacing and stroke delicacy suggest best performance at larger sizes or in high-quality print/digital contexts where hairlines can be preserved. The italic construction feels integral rather than a simple oblique, giving words a continuous, sweeping cadence.
