A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strongly weighted main strokes. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pen-driven modulation, with sharp, tapered terminals and fine bracketed serifs that often resolve into hairline points. Curves are smooth and generous, while diagonals and joins feel crisp and slightly chiseled, giving capitals a sculptural presence. Proportions are fairly classical with ample counters; spacing and rhythm read as deliberately elegant rather than utilitarian, and the italics exhibit lively, varied stroke color across the line.
Best suited to display and headline typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated—magazine features, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and refined brand marks. It can also work for short pulls, quotes, and titling in print or high-resolution digital settings where its fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic movement suggest high-end storytelling—confident, stylish, and slightly theatrical—rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic italic serif: expressive, high-contrast forms that add immediacy and elegance to titles and brand-led typography while retaining traditional serif structure and readability in short passages.
At text sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a key visual feature, contributing sparkle and delicacy, while at larger sizes the sharp terminals and contrast create a striking, poster-like presence. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined, engraved-like crispness, helping headlines feel cohesive and premium.
