A sharply serifed italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines. The forms are narrow and lively, with a forward-leaning axis, tapered terminals, and fine, pointed serifs that read as crisp wedges rather than heavy brackets. Curves are smooth and glossy, counters are relatively open, and the rhythm feels quick and continuous due to the strong diagonals and consistent slant. Uppercase has a stately, display-oriented presence, while lowercase shows calligraphic influence with single-storey a and g and flowing joins and entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to magazine-style editorial design, fashion and beauty branding, and refined headline or subhead work where its high contrast can shine. It also fits invitations, packaging, and short-form display typography that benefits from an elegant italic voice more than dense, small-size reading.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking editorial sophistication and a fashion-forward sensibility. Its contrast and slanted motion create a sense of drama and glamour, while the classic serif vocabulary keeps it anchored in traditional typography.
Designed to provide a sophisticated italic companion for traditional serif typography, emphasizing elegance, motion, and high-contrast refinement. The letterforms appear intended to deliver a luxurious, editorial feel with crisp detailing and a distinctly display-ready texture.
The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connections that emphasize refinement over robustness. In text settings, the prominent contrast and fine details create a bright, sparkling texture that favors larger sizes and generous spacing.
