A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharp, unbracketed hairline serifs. The design pairs thick main strokes with very fine connecting strokes, producing a crisp, sparkling texture in text. Italic construction is flowing but controlled, with tapered terminals, compact joins, and gently swelling curves that keep counters open. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase shows a traditional italic rhythm with clear differentiation between round and straight forms.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works for refined headlines, cultural programs, and formal stationery (invitations, menus, and certificates), especially at sizes where the hairlines can print cleanly.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking editorial sophistication and classic book typography. Its glossy contrast and disciplined slant read as formal and expressive rather than casual, lending a sense of ceremony and refinement.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic with strong contrast and a bright typographic sparkle, balancing traditional forms with a crisp, contemporary finish for display and premium editorial use.
Figures follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes; they appear best where fine details won’t be lost. The italic color is lively, with noticeable stroke modulation that creates a dynamic line when set in longer passages.
