A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines, fuller curved strokes, and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into wedge-like points that reinforce a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with a consistent rightward slant and lively rhythm; capitals appear poised and formal while the lowercase shows more fluid, handwritten modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, with delicate joins and pronounced curves.
Best suited to editorial display typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, section openers, and luxury branding where contrast and movement are assets. It can work for short paragraphs in high-quality print or large digital sizes, particularly when ample size and spacing preserve the hairlines and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, combining classical refinement with a distinctly modern, fashion-leaning drama. Its bright hairlines and energetic italic motion read as expressive and sophisticated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, high-end reading voice with pronounced italic character—balancing traditional serif structure with a dramatic, contemporary sheen for attention-grabbing typography.
Stroke contrast is especially apparent in letters with diagonals and bowls, producing sparkle in larger sizes but making the thinnest details visually fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs. The italic forms maintain a consistent angle across caps, lowercase, and figures, contributing to a cohesive, continuous texture in running text.
