A refined italic serif with sharply tapered, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Curves show diagonal stress and smooth, calligraphic joins, while verticals and diagonals alternate between sturdy stems and razor-thin connecting strokes for a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Proportions feel compact and slightly condensed, with lively, varied letter widths and a forward-leaning posture that keeps lines of text energetic and continuous.
Performs best in editorial contexts where contrast and italic motion are assets: magazine headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand-forward layouts. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large digital sizes where the fine strokes have room to breathe.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing classical bookish credibility with a dramatic, boutique feel. Its brisk italic movement and shimmering contrast suggest sophistication and a touch of theatrical flair, suited to refined, attention-grabbing typography.
Likely drawn to deliver a modernized, high-contrast italic that reads as traditional serif at a glance but adds contemporary sharpness and speed. The design emphasis appears to be on elegant texture, expressive emphasis, and refined display performance rather than utilitarian neutrality.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a sparkling texture, especially in round letters and numerals where thin strokes nearly disappear at smaller details. The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the punctuation and figures share the same sharp, tapered finishing, reinforcing a cohesive, high-contrast voice.
