A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weighty, teardrop-like terminals. The forms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining pointed entry strokes and crisp wedge serifs with rounded, swelling curves. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture alternates between dense vertical stress and delicate connecting strokes, producing a lively, slightly animated line. Numerals and capitals feel sculpted and formal, with distinct stroke modulation and clean, precise joins.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other larger-scale typography where the contrast and fine details can shine. It also fits fashion/editorial branding, premium packaging, and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, especially when paired with a calmer roman companion for longer text.
The typeface conveys an elegant, editorial tone—polished and sophisticated with a touch of drama. Its steep contrast and italic movement suggest luxury and ceremony, while the crisp finishing details keep it poised rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with modern sharpness—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and rhythm for premium display and editorial settings. Its consistent calligraphic modulation suggests a focus on refined word-shape and striking typographic color in larger compositions.
Curves show a consistent diagonal stress, and terminals often finish in rounded droplets or fine points that heighten sparkle at display sizes. The sample text demonstrates strong word-shape flow and a prominent italic cadence that reads as intentional and expressive rather than merely slanted.
