A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a distinctly calligraphic stress, with hairline entry/exit strokes that taper to fine points and heavier shaded diagonals and curves. The italic slant is consistent and lively, and spacing feels somewhat variable due to the narrow hairlines and broader shaded forms. Capitals are crisp and stately with long, cutting terminals; lowercase is fluid with teardrop/ball-like details on select letters and a single-storey italic construction throughout.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other large-size settings where the fine hairlines and sharp terminals can remain clear. It also fits fashion, beauty, and luxury branding, as well as formal invitations and packaging that benefit from a refined italic presence. In longer text, it works most convincingly as an accent style (e.g., emphasis, subheads) rather than the primary reading face.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a sense of luxury and classic editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics add energy and a slightly theatrical flair, while the traditional serif structure keeps it rooted in familiar, cultivated typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast italics, emphasizing elegance, motion, and crisp detail. Its forms prioritize expressive rhythm and visual sparkle for editorial and branding applications.
The design relies heavily on delicate hairlines and pointed terminals, giving it a sparkling, engraved feel at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm and contrast, reading as stylish and display-leaning rather than utilitarian.
