A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted thick strokes. The serifs are fine and sharp, with many strokes ending in tapered, calligraphic points rather than blunt cuts, creating a crisp, glossy texture on the page. Forms are generally narrow and upright in construction but clearly slanted, with energetic entry/exit strokes and a pronounced rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are clean, and the overall color alternates dramatically between thick stems and delicate connecting strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, pull quotes, and branding where elegance and impact matter. It can also work for short bursts of text—such as invitations, titles, or packaging copy—where the delicate hairlines won’t be lost to small sizes or low-resolution output.
The font projects a polished, premium tone associated with luxury and high-end print. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement feel expressive and stylish, leaning toward sophisticated, headline-forward typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and refined detailing. Its emphasis on sharp terminals and hairline structure suggests a focus on sophisticated display typography and editorial impact.
In the glyph set shown, capitals read as stately and formal with sharp detailing, while the lowercase shows a more flowing italic cadence, helping text feel lively even at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, giving figures a fashionable, editorial presence.
