A sharply modulated italic serif with pronounced thick–thin strokes and delicate, hairline serifs. The letterforms are narrow-leaning with a fluid, calligraphic axis, showing crisp terminals, tapered joins, and a lively rhythm across words. Capitals feel sculpted and high-contrast with long, fine serifs, while the lowercase keeps a relatively moderate x-height and uses compact counters; round letters show tight, elegant curves and pointed transitions. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin entry/exit strokes and refined, slightly swashed details in forms like 2 and 3.
Best suited to editorial display, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work well for invitations and luxury packaging, particularly when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking magazine typography, luxury branding, and formal print. Its high drama and graceful slant read as sophisticated and expressive rather than utilitarian.
This design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic serif, prioritizing elegance, motion, and a premium voice for display-led typography.
In continuous text the thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes and in high-quality print. The italic construction is consistently applied across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a cohesive, flowing cadence.
