A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted thick strokes. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a clean, modern crispness rather than heavy bracketing. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, producing a flowing rhythm; many letters show subtly calligraphic entry/exit strokes and wedge-like terminals. Counters are relatively open for such contrast, and the overall texture alternates between dark verticals and delicate connecting strokes, giving the face a lively, shimmering page color.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where the fine hairlines can be appreciated. It works well for magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, elegant packaging, and formal invitations, especially when set at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The font projects luxury and poise, with a distinctly fashion-and-editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic movement convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, while the crisp detailing keeps it feeling contemporary and polished.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast italic serif tradition: dramatic, luxurious forms with precise hairlines and sharp terminals. The emphasis appears to be on expressive movement and refined detail for high-impact display typography.
The glyph set shows expressive italics in both cases, with capitals that feel stately and slightly condensed in posture, and lowercase forms that lean into a more handwritten cadence. Numerals match the same contrast and sharp finishing, reading as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
