A high-contrast italic serif with strongly modulated strokes, hairline joins, and pointed wedge serifs. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, pairing thick, sculpted stems with extremely thin connecting strokes and terminals. Capitals feel tall and slightly narrow with crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows a lively flow with compact bowls, tapered arms, and a distinctive, somewhat high-waisted italic construction. Numerals match the same modulation and have a slightly display-forward presence, with sharp terminals and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that benefit from a refined italic voice. It also works effectively for posters, pull quotes, and elegant packaging where the high contrast and sharp detailing can be shown at generous sizes.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a dramatic, runway-like sheen. Its crisp hairlines and energetic italic movement communicate sophistication and a sense of luxury, while the sharp terminals add a fashionable bite.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, fashion-oriented italic serif with pronounced contrast and a graceful, calligraphic cadence. It prioritizes sophistication and visual drama, offering an expressive typographic color that stands out in display and editorial settings.
The italic angle and extreme contrast create a strong baseline rhythm and clear directional motion, especially in rounded letters where hairline connections become prominent. At smaller sizes, the finest strokes may visually recede, while at larger sizes the sculptural contrast and sharp serifs become a defining feature.
