A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and finely bracketed serifs, giving the letters a crisp, engraved feel while maintaining smooth, calligraphic flow. Curves are generous and slightly tensioned, with narrow joins and a lively diagonal rhythm; several glyphs show subtle flourish-like hooks and curls (notably in the J, S, g, y, and the numerals). The overall color is airy and bright, with delicate horizontals and strong vertical stress that reads best when given space.
Performs best in editorial headlines, magazine layouts, lookbooks, and brand expressions where contrast and elegance are central. It also suits invitations, title pages, and pull quotes at medium-to-large sizes, where its hairline details and lively italic rhythm can remain clean and intentional.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone—luxurious and fashion-forward, with a theatrical edge from its sharp contrast and italic movement. Its refined detailing and poised rhythm suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony, suited to designs that want to feel premium rather than utilitarian.
Designed to deliver a modern, luxe italic voice for serif typography—combining classical high-contrast construction with contemporary sharpness and selective flourish. The intent appears to be a statement-making companion for premium layouts, emphasizing sophistication, motion, and delicate detail.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow with crisp apexes and tapered finishes, while the lowercase brings more personality through curled terminals and a more handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with especially distinctive, curving figures that lean toward display styling rather than strictly neutral text figures.
