A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, with a generally bracketed feel on heavier joins and hairline finishing strokes that taper to pointed terminals. The italic angle is assertive, giving letterforms a lively forward motion while maintaining a controlled, classical skeleton. Counters are relatively open and the spacing reads balanced in text, with subtle width variation across glyphs contributing to an energetic rhythm.
Well-suited to magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other design contexts that benefit from a refined italic voice. It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, titling, and short passages where its contrast and sharp details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a fashionable editorial flair. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics convey luxury and drama without becoming overly ornate, making it feel confident, cultured, and formal.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classical italic serif, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and rhythmic movement for display and editorial emphasis.
In larger sizes the razor-thin hairlines and pointed entry/exit strokes become a defining feature, producing a bright, sparkling texture. In running text, the strong slant and contrast emphasize word shapes and create a distinctly italic voice rather than a subdued companion style.
