A sharply contrasted italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and crisp hairline serifs. The design pairs broad, smooth main strokes with extremely fine connecting strokes and terminals, creating a lively, shimmering rhythm. Capitals are tall and restrained with clean, tapered serifs, while the lowercase is more calligraphic, showing flowing entry strokes, slender joins, and gently swelling curves. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate diagonals and thin cross-strokes that keep the color light and airy.
Best suited to display settings where its hairlines and sharp contrast can remain clear—headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and brand marks. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes, where the refined stroke modulation reads as intentional detail rather than fragility.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial glamour. Its steep contrast and italic movement lend drama and sophistication, suggesting luxury, style, and a classic sense of refinement rather than utility.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice that emphasizes elegance through extreme stroke modulation and crisp serif detailing. The intent appears to balance classical proportions with a dramatic, contemporary editorial finish.
The italic construction produces noticeable directional energy, especially in rounded forms and in letters with long diagonals. Fine details—such as hairline crossbars and thin linking strokes—are visually prominent and contribute to a delicate, premium feel at display sizes.
