A high‑contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and swelling main strokes, creating a distinctly vertical, chiseled rhythm. The capitals are stately and open, with fine, bracketless-looking serifs and tapered terminals; curves transition quickly from thick to hairline, especially in C/G/S. Lowercase forms are lively and editorial in feel, with a single-storey a and g, a long, fine f, and pronounced entry/exit strokes that read as calligraphic. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, pairing delicate horizontals with strong vertical emphasis and ample white space.
Best suited to magazine typography, pull quotes, section openers, and brand-led headlines where elegance and contrast are an asset. It also fits invitations and cultural programs that benefit from a formal, refined italic voice. For long passages, it will typically perform better at comfortable sizes with generous leading so the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, balancing classical bookishness with a modern, high-fashion sheen. Its sharp contrast and italic flow add drama and sophistication, suggesting premium, curated, and slightly theatrical typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif italics—optimized for expressive, premium-looking typography with a strong sense of movement and sparkle on the page.
Spacing appears relatively airy, which helps the thin connecting strokes survive in display sizes. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the stroke modulation stays disciplined, giving the design a polished, editorial finish.
