A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp hairline serifs. The forms are broad and generously proportioned, with slanted capitals and lowercases that maintain a steady italic rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and several glyphs use tapered strokes and occasional ball terminals (notably in the lowercases). Numerals follow the same contrast model, with sculpted curves and narrow hairline joins that emphasize a refined, engraved feel.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and campaign graphics where contrast and sheen are assets. It can also work for luxury-oriented branding and packaging when used at sizes large enough to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, projecting a premium editorial voice. Its dramatic contrast and forward lean suggest fashion, luxury packaging, and high-end magazine typography, with a sense of classic sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic in a high-contrast serif idiom, combining wide, assertive silhouettes with delicate hairlines for maximum visual impact in editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the heavy main strokes create strong word shapes while the hairlines add sparkle; the slanted construction and sharp details make it especially attention-grabbing at display sizes. The broad set width and pronounced contrast give headlines a confident, poster-like presence.
