A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapering serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes move from hairline-thin transitions to weighty downstrokes, giving the letters a glossy, engraved rhythm. Capitals are tall and slightly narrow with sweeping entry strokes and clean, chiseled terminals; the lowercase is compact and slanted, with teardrop-like joins, crisp curves, and occasional calligraphic flicks (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z). Numerals follow the same contrasty, angled construction, with elegant curves and thin internal counters that favor display clarity over tiny-size ruggedness.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where contrast and motion can read as intentional luxury. It also fits invitations, event collateral, and pull quotes, especially when set with generous leading and comfortable tracking to keep the hairlines open.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking classic editorial typography and luxury branding. Its dramatic contrast and continuous italic flow feel confident and ceremonial, lending a sense of sophistication and theater to headlines and short statements.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a calligraphic sweep, prioritizing elegance and expressive rhythm. The intent appears geared toward display typography that conveys refinement and prestige while remaining legible in short to medium text settings.
The spacing and letterfit appear tuned for titling: forms are lively and slightly variable in footprint, creating a textured line with strong word shapes. Hairlines and tight apertures suggest it will look best when given enough size and print/retina clarity to preserve the delicate details.
