This is a high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong thick-to-thin modulation. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining sharp, unbracketed serifs with tapered entry and exit strokes. Curves are taut and polished, with vertical emphasis in the main strokes and delicate, filament-like connections in places (notably in the lowercase). Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase shows lively italic construction with pronounced terminals and a flowing baseline.
Best suited for magazines, lookbooks, and other editorial settings where elegant italics are used for emphasis or voice. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitations, and performs well in headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its dramatic contrast and crisp finishing details evoke high-end publishing and fashion branding, while the italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and pace.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic, emphasizing elegance, sharp finishing, and dramatic stroke modulation for display-led typography.
The numerals and capitals read as formal and display-oriented, with fine details that will be more apparent at larger sizes. The design relies on precise hairlines and pointed serifs, giving it a polished, boutique feel rather than a utilitarian one.
