A sharply contrasted italic serif with thin hairlines and strong, clean stems. Serifs are delicate and crisp, often resolving into tapered, pointed terminals that add sparkle and precision. The italic construction leans noticeably with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing narrow joins and swelling curves in round letters. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height, while capitals are stately and slightly expansive; overall spacing reads airy in display sizes, with a lively, varied texture across letters.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where the fine hairlines can remain clear. It can also work for short-form, high-impact text in premium packaging or invitations, especially when printed well or used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and high-style, combining luxury cues with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its bright hairlines and slanted posture feel fashionable and editorial, suggesting sophistication, premium branding, and refined storytelling.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast italic serif: crisp, luminous hairlines paired with confident verticals to create drama and elegance in display settings.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and italic slant, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes. Several letters feature extended, blade-like serifs and subtle calligraphic inflections (notably in S, Q, and lowercase a/g), which increases character but can demand more size and leading for comfortable reading.
