A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered joins, paired with fuller curved strokes. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and an overall wide, open stance, giving generous internal counters and clear word shapes. Serifs are fine and precise, often wedge-like and subtly bracketed, with pointed terminals and sweeping entry/exit strokes that add a calligraphic lift. Curves are smooth and taut, and the texture on the page is light and sparkling due to the extreme stroke modulation.
Best suited for large sizes where the fine hairlines can shine—magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand statements, and elegant packaging. It also fits formal or celebratory materials such as invitations and certificates, especially when paired with a more subdued text face for longer reading.
The font reads as polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial, high-fashion tone. Its crisp hairlines and flowing italic rhythm create a sense of sophistication and drama, suited to premium, style-forward typography rather than utilitarian body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic with classic serif cues, emphasizing elegance, movement, and a premium print-like finish. Its wide proportions and dramatic modulation prioritize visual impact and refined styling in display and editorial contexts.
The italic construction is prominent across both capitals and lowercase, with expressive swashes on select forms and a lively baseline rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted posture, integrating well with text settings and maintaining the airy, refined color.
