A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline terminals and sculpted, calligraphic curves. The letters lean consistently with a flowing rhythm, pairing thick, tapered main strokes against extremely fine connecting strokes and serifs. Serifs are delicate and mostly bracketed, with occasional flicked terminals and subtle swash-like endings on several lowercase forms. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the straight-sided capitals, while bowls and diagonals show more elastic, drawn shapes, giving the overall texture a lively, elegant sparkle at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its high contrast and italic movement can read as intentional style rather than body-text neutrality. It also fits premium branding applications—beauty, fashion, hospitality, and packaging—where sharp hairlines and elegant curves convey sophistication.
The tone is polished and fashion-forward, balancing classic bookish manners with a dramatic, modern edge. Its bright-thin details and sweeping italics suggest sophistication, ceremony, and a sense of curated luxury.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic within a traditional serif framework, emphasizing contrast, crispness, and graceful motion. It prioritizes expressive word shapes and visual elegance for display and editorial settings.
The sample text shows pronounced contrast creating strong vertical emphasis and crisp word shapes, while the fine hairlines and delicate joins make the face feel lighter and more ornamental as size decreases. Numerals echo the same italic, high-contrast construction, with a particularly airy, open ‘8’ and curled details on several figures that reinforce the refined, stylized character.
