A high-contrast italic serif with vertical stress, sharp hairline serifs, and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The forms are slender and clean, with crisp terminals and a smooth, calligraphic flow through the diagonals and curves. Uppercase letters show a classical, inscriptional feel with restrained ornament, while the lowercase is more lively, with long ascenders, compact counters, and distinctive italic constructions (notably the single-storey a and g). Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast, giving the set a bright, polished rhythm in text.
This font suits editorial typography where elegance and contrast are desirable—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and display settings. It also fits luxury and beauty branding, packaging, and identity work where a refined italic serif can convey premium positioning.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking fashion publishing, upscale branding, and formal print. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement communicate sophistication and a slightly theatrical elegance rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic serif for display-led typography, combining classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary finish. Its goal is to provide an expressive, upscale voice with strong typographic presence and a polished page color.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and narrow joins create a sparkling texture at larger sizes, while the fine hairlines and sharp serifs suggest careful use on high-resolution output. The italic slant is consistent and energetic, helping headlines and pull quotes feel fluid and expressive.
