A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and broad, sculpted main strokes. The forms lean decisively with a calligraphic rhythm, showing tapered entries/exits and frequent ball or teardrop terminals on curves. Uppercase letters are tall and stately with crisp triangular serifs, while the lowercase is more fluid and lively, with looped or swashed details in characters like g, z, and w. Numerals echo the italic stress with elegant curves and thin, knife-like joins, keeping an overall glossy, polished texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic movement can read clearly—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and formal invitations. It can also work for short editorial emphasis (pull quotes, standfirsts, captions) when set large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font conveys a sophisticated, high-fashion tone—confident, luxurious, and slightly theatrical. Its sweeping italics and bright contrast suggest editorial glamour and formal invitation energy rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, conventionally serifed italic with heightened elegance—pairing traditional proportions with expressive terminals and swash-like gestures for a more luxurious, attention-getting voice.
In the sample text, the high contrast and fine hairlines create a sparkling page color, with distinctive italic swashes that add personality at word endings and in round letters. The overall impression is crisp and ornamental, favoring expressive rhythm over strictly uniform, mechanical construction.
