A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes swing between thick stems and razor-thin connecting hairlines, creating a glossy, sculpted rhythm. The italic angle is moderately steep, with calligraphic entry/exit strokes and occasional ball terminals, while counters remain open and clean. Uppercase forms feel tall and refined with strong thick–thin modulation; lowercase shows a relatively compact x-height with lively, tapered joins and a distinctly italic cursive construction for letters like a, f, g, and y.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short-form typography where its contrast and italic energy can take center stage. It works well in fashion and beauty branding, magazine or book titling, and elegant event materials, and can be effective for pull quotes or highlighted phrases within editorial layouts.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, conveying sophistication and a sense of classic print luxury. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement add flair and a slightly theatrical, romantic emphasis that reads as editorial and couture-adjacent rather than utilitarian.
The design intention appears to be an expressive, high-contrast italic aimed at delivering refined drama—combining classic serif proportions with striking thick–thin modulation for premium display typography and emphatic editorial voice.
In the text sample, the font’s thin hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining texture, especially in long runs and at smaller sizes, where the contrast creates a sparkling, sharp edge. Spacing appears tuned for display-like settings, with a refined cadence that favors emphasis and hierarchy.
