A sharp, high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline details. Serifs are crisp and delicate, often tapering to points, and the strokes show a distinctly calligraphic construction with swelling curves and narrow joins. Proportions lean toward a relatively narrow, vertically oriented silhouette, with airy counters and a smooth, consistent slant that gives words a flowing rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and precision, reading cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to magazine typography, headlines, and other display settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, invitations, and book or album covers that call for an elegant, fashion-forward serif italic. In longer passages it can work as emphasis or for short editorial blocks, especially when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic forms suggest sophistication and a touch of theatricality, lending text a poised, premium voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif italic with classical roots, prioritizing elegance, rhythmic motion, and visual sparkle. It aims to provide a refined, premium voice for editorial and branding contexts where style and contrast are central.
Curves are carefully tensioned, with thin linking strokes and sharp terminals that heighten sparkle on the page. The italic forms show lively entry and exit strokes, creating a continuous, graceful texture in running text, while capitals remain controlled and formal.
