A sharply inclined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. Stems swell into wedge-like feet and fine, bracketed serifs, while curved letters show a clear diagonal stress and a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are tall and airy with generous counters and delicate entry/exit strokes, and the lowercase maintains a flowing texture with narrow joins and tapered finishes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted posture, keeping an elegant, display-oriented cadence.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and invitation suites. It also works well for short editorial callouts and pull quotes where a luxurious italic texture is desired, rather than extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion mastheads and classic literary italics. Its glossy contrast and sweeping curves feel sophisticated and ceremonial, with a distinctly editorial polish rather than a utilitarian voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic take on a traditional serif model, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive movement. Its consistent slant, sharp hairlines, and sculpted serifs suggest an intention to create a striking, premium voice for display and editorial settings.
The design relies on hairline details and finely tapered strokes, so it reads most confidently when given room to breathe and printed or rendered at sizes where the thin strokes can stay intact. The italic construction is integral to the design, with consistent slant and lively stroke endings that create a continuous, graceful motion across words.
