A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing crisp, wedge-like terminals and finely pointed joins that create a glossy, chiselled look. Uppercase shapes are compact and sculptural with generous interior counters, while the lowercase carries more movement through curved entry/exit strokes, occasional swash-like terminals, and lively, slightly variable widths across glyphs. Numerals follow the same contrasty, italicized treatment, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters where its contrast and italic energy can be showcased. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and leading, but the fine hairlines and sharp details benefit from high-quality rendering and print conditions.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classic sophistication with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrast and flowing italic motion read as luxurious and intentional, with a hint of vintage editorial glamour.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in a distinctly italic, high-drama register—prioritizing elegance, motion, and contrast for impactful, upscale communication.
In text, the strong diagonal stress and hairline detailing create a bright, high-ink-contrast texture that feels best when given room to breathe. The italic’s pronounced terminals and occasional flourishes add personality and emphasis, especially in capitals and key lowercase letters.
