This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and sharp, delicate hairlines. Serifs are fine and crisp, often wedge-like, with a smooth connection into the stems that reads as lightly bracketed rather than slabby. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with tapered terminals and a steady rightward slant that gives the texture a fast, calligraphic flow despite its formal construction. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is assertive, especially in capitals and numerals, where heavy stems contrast strongly against razor-thin cross-strokes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, and brand identities that want a refined, luxe impression. It can also work for posters, invitations, and premium packaging where dramatic contrast and italic energy are assets, especially in short-to-medium text blocks rather than dense body copy.
The tone is polished and theatrical, combining a classic, high-fashion elegance with a slightly flamboyant, display-forward energy. Its italic movement adds sophistication and a sense of motion, making the voice feel premium and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs: striking, elegant letterforms built for attention in display typography while retaining enough conventional structure to set readable phrases and subheads.
Capitals feel stately and sculpted, while the lowercase introduces more pronounced entry/exit strokes and swashed-feeling terminals that heighten the italic character. In text, the contrast and tight proportions create a sparkling, high-end texture, but the finest details suggest it will prefer comfortable sizes and clean reproduction.
