A high-contrast serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic construction: swelling main strokes paired with hairline connectors and crisp, delicate serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and fluid, continuous rhythm, with long entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that create a lively, sweeping texture. Capitals are narrow and poised with sharp apexes and fine finishing strokes, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent italic ductus and moderate x-height, producing clear word shapes despite the thin hairlines. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and fine finishing details.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, luxury and beauty branding, and elegant invitations where high contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short-form emphasis in text—such as introductions or captions—when set with sufficient size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and high-end, suggesting editorial polish and fashion-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italics add a sense of motion and ceremony, reading as luxurious and cultured rather than utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, contemporary take on the formal serif italic: crisp, high-contrast forms with a graceful calligraphic flow that elevates tone and adds expressive emphasis in display and refined editorial contexts.
The design relies on very thin hairlines for its sparkle and definition, giving it a crisp, engraved-like delicacy in larger settings. The italic forms emphasize curvature and tapered joins, which creates an animated line of text with a strong sense of forward momentum.
