A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines, weighty main strokes, and sharply tapered, hairline serifs. The design shows a distinctly calligraphic slant with diagonal stress and smooth, sweeping entry and exit strokes that create a flowing rhythm across words. Proportions are relatively narrow with tall capitals and lively, slightly irregular widths, while lowercase forms stay crisp and poised with small counters and delicate joins. Numerals follow the same italic logic, mixing sturdy stems with fine terminals for a cohesive, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and short-to-medium editorial passages where the high-contrast italic texture can be appreciated. It also fits luxury packaging and branding systems that benefit from a refined, classic voice. For extended reading or small sizes, it will perform more reliably in print or high-resolution environments.
The overall tone is polished and stylish, evoking fashion and literary editorial settings rather than utilitarian text work. Its dramatic contrast and graceful slant communicate sophistication, romance, and a sense of heritage without feeling overly ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a traditional italic serif, prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and striking contrast. Its forms aim to create a distinctive, upscale voice for display and editorial typography while maintaining conventional serif lettershapes for familiarity.
In text, the strong contrast produces a bright, sparkling page color, with thin strokes and pointed terminals becoming prominent details. The italic construction is assertive, so spacing and line length will significantly affect smoothness and readability, especially at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output.
