A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairline serifs. The letterforms are built on an oblique, calligraphic axis with smooth, sweeping curves and crisp joins, giving the design a lively rhythm. Capitals feel tall and sculpted, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and long, tapered extenders; many glyphs show pointed entry strokes and teardrop-like terminals. Figures are similarly contrasty and slanted, with elegant curves and narrow joins that read best when given room and size.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and elegance are an asset. It also fits branding for beauty, luxury, hospitality, and event materials such as invitations and programs, especially when used at larger sizes or with generous tracking.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial glamour. Its dramatic contrast and flowing italic movement suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making the text feel curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice within a conventional serif framework, emphasizing refined contrast and graceful movement for display-oriented composition.
The italic is expressive without becoming script-like, relying on crisp serif detailing and controlled curves rather than connective strokes. Spacing appears balanced for display and titling, but the hairline details and sharp terminals make the design feel more delicate than utilitarian at small sizes.
