A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. The overall construction is narrow-to-moderate in set with lively, calligraphic rhythm, showing a consistent rightward slant and a strong vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and minimal, with thin, tapered entry and exit strokes that often resolve into pointed terminals. Curves and joins feel taut and controlled, while capitals remain stately and clean, giving the alphabet a polished, high-end texture in both display lines and larger text settings.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-impact editorial typography where elegance and contrast are assets. It also fits luxury branding, packaging accents, and formal invitations or event materials, especially when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is sophisticated and glamorous, with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic movement convey luxury, precision, and a sense of curated style rather than casual readability.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast italic voice that feels premium and expressive. It prioritizes stylish cadence and sharp detail for display and editorial settings, aiming for a modern luxury impression with classic serif discipline.
In the samples, wide letterspacing and large sizes emphasize the sparkling hairlines and sculpted strokes; at smaller sizes the finest details may become more fragile. Numerals and capitals carry a poised, fashion-forward presence, and the lowercase maintains an energetic, handwritten-like flow while staying clearly typographic.
