A high-contrast italic serif with hairline, bracketed serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes move between very thin hairlines and robust stems, producing a crisp, sparkling texture in text. The italic construction is calligraphic, with pronounced entry/exit strokes, diagonal stress in round letters, and a lively rhythm; uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow with long, fine serifs, while the lowercase shows fluid joins and energetic curves. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted posture, giving figures a formal, fashion-forward presence.
Well suited to fashion and culture editorials, magazine features, and elegant headline or subhead work where its high-contrast italic voice can carry. It also fits premium branding applications and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when used with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve fine details.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, balancing classical bookish cues with a more dramatic, couture-like sheen. Its sharp contrasts and sweeping italic forms feel expressive and premium, projecting sophistication and a sense of ceremony.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-style italic serif for display-forward typography, emphasizing contrast, finesse, and a graceful calligraphic flow. It aims to bring a refined, editorial personality to titles and emphasized text while maintaining conventional serif proportions for familiar readability.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and delicate serifs read as particularly crisp and refined, while in dense settings the strong contrast creates a distinctive, shimmering page color. The italic angle and tapered strokes give even straightforward words a sense of motion and emphasis.
