A sharply contrasted italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. Stems and main diagonals are weighty and sculpted, while hairlines and serifs are extremely fine and crisp, creating a bright, cutting silhouette. The italic construction is assertive, with lively calligraphic curves, compact counters, and a relatively low x-height that emphasizes capitals and ascenders. Spacing reads as tight-to-moderate with a rhythmic, slightly uneven color typical of display italics, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-leaning movement and terminals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion branding, pull quotes, posters, and refined packaging. It can work for short text passages in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes, where the hairlines and sharp serifs have enough room to hold.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, leaning toward high-end print and fashion aesthetics. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italics feel formal and expressive rather than neutral, suggesting sophistication with a hint of vintage glamour.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion italic voice with maximum contrast and crisp detailing. Its proportions and dramatic thick–thin rhythm prioritize elegance and impact over everyday text robustness.
Capitals show strong, sculptural forms (notably in C, G, Q, and S) with delicate entry/exit strokes that demand sufficient size and clean reproduction. In text settings, the high contrast and fine details remain striking but can appear more sensitive on low-resolution outputs, where hairlines may soften or break.
