A high-contrast italic serif with vertical stress and crisp, needle-like hairlines against strong main strokes. Capitals are tall and stately with sharp wedge entry strokes and fine, unbracketed serifs; curves are taut and clean, giving counters a polished, controlled feel. The lowercase is noticeably small in x-height with lively, calligraphic joins and tapered terminals, creating a distinctive rhythm and pronounced word-shape. Figures follow the same contrast model, mixing bold strokes with delicate hairlines and featuring elegant, slightly mannered curves.
Best used in display contexts such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand moments where high contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can work well for luxury packaging and formal invitations, and for short editorial passages in larger sizes where its sharp hairlines and expressive forms remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, with a fashion-editorial kind of drama. Its sharp contrast and italic movement read as luxurious and somewhat ceremonial, suited to messaging that wants to feel elevated, cultivated, and attention-grabbing without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a modern, high-contrast italic serif with a deliberately refined silhouette and lively calligraphic detailing. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact, creating distinctive word-shapes for branding and editorial typography.
Spacing and stroke modulation create a strong light–dark texture, especially in mixed-case settings where the tall capitals and small lowercase emphasize hierarchy. Several letters show distinctive, stylized terminals (notably in the italic lowercase), which adds personality but can increase visual activity at small sizes.
