A refined italic serif with a strongly modulated stroke, pairing hairline connections and serifs with broad, swelling thick strokes. The letterforms are notably wide and sit on a steady baseline, with crisp, tapered entry/exit strokes and frequent teardrop/ball-like terminals in the lowercase. Serifs are thin and sharp, often bracketless or minimally bracketed, and the overall construction feels high-waisted with narrow joins and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Curves are smooth and glossy, while diagonals and cross-strokes end in elegant points, producing a sleek, display-leaning rhythm even at text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding applications—logos, packaging, and invitations—where a sophisticated, fashion-forward serif voice is desired.
The font conveys an upscale, editorial tone—dramatic and stylish rather than utilitarian. Its italic energy and pronounced contrast suggest fashion, magazine typography, and classic luxury branding, with a slightly theatrical flair that reads as confident and polished.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast italic serifs, prioritizing elegance, width, and visual drama. The goal appears to be a distinctive, editorial display texture with refined terminals and a smooth, calligraphic flow.
In the sample text, the dense contrast and fine hairlines create a lively sparkle, especially in rounded letters and numerals; spacing feels generous due to the wide set, emphasizing a smooth, sweeping texture. The figures share the same contrast and curvature, with elegant, old-style-like shapes and pointed details that reinforce the refined, print-oriented character.
