A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and very fine hairlines that taper into sharp, delicate serifs. Capitals are elegant and slightly condensed in feeling, with crisp joinery and a flowing rightward slant. Lowercase forms are narrow and lively with a short x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and calligraphic entry/exit strokes that create a rhythmic, sweeping texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, pairing sturdy main strokes with hairline curves and terminals.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and elegant packaging where the contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial passages when ample size and careful reproduction preserve the fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward fashion and publishing aesthetics. Its sharp refinement and brisk italic movement convey sophistication, prestige, and a sense of classic formality with a contemporary edge.
Likely designed to deliver a modern take on a high-fashion italic serif: strong vertical emphasis, dramatic contrast, and finely cut details intended to look crisp and upscale in print and high-resolution environments.
In text settings the strong contrast produces a sparkling page color, with hairlines that visually recede and heavy strokes that carry most of the weight. The italic construction is assertive—curves and diagonals feel fast and directional—so spacing and size will strongly influence how crisp the thin details appear.
