A high-contrast italic serif with thin hairlines and strong, dark main strokes. The serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a mostly crisp, chiseled finish that reads as contemporary-didone in flavor while keeping traditional book-serif structure. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and many joins resolve into pointed terminals or beak-like details. The italic rhythm is pronounced, with narrow internal apertures and a lively forward drive; proportions are moderately compact with a steady x-height and relatively tall ascenders.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and fashion or luxury branding where high contrast and italic movement are desirable. It can also serve book covers, pull quotes, and formal invitations, especially when set with generous spacing and supportive leading.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting sophistication and formality. Its dramatic contrast and steep italic angle add a sense of couture elegance and editorial sparkle, while the classical serif detailing keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, upscale italic for typographic emphasis—combining crisp hairlines, refined serif work, and an energetic slant to create a distinctive, polished voice for display and editorial applications.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed, with crisp diagonals and tapered ends that help maintain clarity despite the hairline strokes. Numerals show the same contrast-driven construction, with distinctive curves and angled stress that harmonize with the text. The sample text suggests strong word-shape and a rhythmic texture, though the finest strokes will be most comfortable at display sizes or in high-resolution settings.
