A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and vertical stress. Thick main strokes are paired with very fine hairlines and crisp, delicate serifs that read as lightly attached, keeping the forms sharp rather than cushioned. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase shows lively, sculpted bowls and tapered joins that create a flowing texture across words. Numerals echo the same contrast and angled axis, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that stay consistent with the letterforms.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, and prominent typographic statements where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and formal invitations when used at larger sizes and with adequate breathing room.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward tone—polished, dramatic, and refined. Its sweeping italic motion and razor-thin details suggest luxury and ceremony, leaning toward high-end print aesthetics rather than casual text warmth.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast italics for modern editorial impact, prioritizing elegance, speed of gesture, and visual drama. It aims to deliver a refined, high-fashion voice with crisp detail and a confident, slanted silhouette.
In setting, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a distinctive sparkle, especially in curved letters and in the sharp, angled entries and exits. The italic forms maintain a controlled, formal rhythm, with pointed terminals and fine cross-strokes that reward generous sizing and careful spacing.
