A high-fashion italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Strokes taper into sharp, hairline serifs and needle-like terminals, with smooth, calligraphic joins and controlled curves. Proportions feel slightly condensed with generous ascenders and long, sweeping diagonals; counters are open and the overall rhythm is lively yet disciplined. Numerals and capitals show crisp, sculpted forms that maintain a consistent, polished texture across lines of text.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium passages where elegance and contrast are desirable—magazine headlines, pull quotes, invitations, luxury branding, and refined packaging. It can also work for editorial text at comfortable sizes and with ample leading, where its hairlines and italic rhythm remain clear.
The font projects an upscale, editorial tone—graceful, stylish, and a bit theatrical. Its sharp hairlines and flowing italic movement suggest sophistication and confidence, lending a classic, cultured feel suited to premium contexts.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics, emphasizing sharp refinement and fluent motion. The intention appears to be an editorial-luxury workhorse for expressive typography, balancing crisp detail with readable, well-formed shapes.
The italic angle is noticeable and consistent, with several letters using extended entry/exit strokes that add momentum. The contrast and fine details create a sparkling page color at larger sizes, while the delicate horizontals and serifs imply careful use in print or on-screen situations where fine strokes can be preserved.
