A sharply contrasted italic serif with prominent thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The design shows a steady rightward slant, vertical-leaning stress, and smooth, tapered curves that give counters an oval, flowing rhythm. Terminals often finish with small teardrop or ball-like forms (notably on letters like a, c, f, j), while capitals carry sculpted, wedge-like entry strokes and fine finishing serifs. Overall spacing and proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the joins, with lively stroke transitions that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best used for headlines, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where its contrast and slant can shine. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, event and wedding invitations, and high-end packaging or identity work that benefits from a classic, formal italic voice.
The tone is polished and upscale, projecting a sense of tradition, luxury, and editorial sophistication. Its high-contrast shimmer and calligraphic motion add drama and ceremony, making it feel suited to premium, style-forward contexts rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast italic with a luxurious, calligraphy-informed sparkle, prioritizing elegance and expressive rhythm in display and editorial typography.
The italic construction is assertive, with energetic diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and a distinctive, looping italic g and y that emphasize movement. Numerals share the same contrast and include curved, expressive forms (notably 2 and 3) alongside more restrained figures, maintaining a cohesive, refined texture across mixed content.
