A high-contrast serif italic with slim proportions and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes move from razor-thin hairlines to firm verticals, with delicate, sharply tapered serifs and finely drawn entry/exit strokes. The italic construction leans noticeably, with flowing joins and subtle diagonal stress in rounded forms; counters stay open and clean despite the thin connecting strokes. Capitals feel stately and sculpted, while lowercase shows more cursive movement (notably in letters like a, f, g, y), creating an overall polished, editorial texture.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where a luxurious italic voice is desired. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, event invitations, and packaging accents, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes for maximum sparkle and contrast.
The tone is refined and upscale, balancing classic bookish manners with a fashionable, display-ready drama. It suggests sophistication and prestige, with a crisp, modern sheen coming from the extreme hairlines and taut spacing.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic high-contrast serif italic with contemporary sharpness—prioritizing elegance, fluid motion, and striking headline presence while remaining coherent enough for refined text settings.
The design relies on thin hairlines and sharp terminals, so it reads best where reproduction is crisp and sizes are not too small. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and italic slant, giving figures a formal, titling-friendly presence.
