This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and swelling main strokes that create a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are refined and generally bracketed, with pointed terminals and crisp joins that emphasize the diagonal movement of the italics. Uppercase forms feel tall and elegant with narrow internal counters, while lowercase letters show lively entry/exit strokes, teardrop-like endings, and occasional looped details (notably in forms like g, z, and some numerals). Overall spacing and color read as formal and bright, with thin connections and strong thick–thin modulation giving the page an airy, engraved look.
Well-suited to large-size editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where its contrast and motion can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially for beauty, apparel, and hospitality, where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The tone is polished and editorial, projecting sophistication and drama through its steep italic angle and striking contrast. It suggests couture and high-end branding while retaining a traditional bookish refinement typical of classic serif italics.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion italic with strong thick–thin drama and traditional serif structure, balancing classical book-italic cues with extra flourish for contemporary editorial impact.
Several glyphs feature expressive, slightly flamboyant terminals and occasional swash-like turns that add personality without becoming overtly decorative. The numerals follow the same contrast logic and include curving, calligraphic details that stand out in display settings.
