This is a high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and dense, sculpted thick strokes. Letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and strong diagonal stress, with sharp, tapered serifs that often end in fine points rather than blunt slabs. Curves are crisp and tightly controlled, and many joins and terminals have a chiseled, wedge-like finish that reinforces a glossy, engraved look. Proportions are relatively compact with a normal x-height, while capitals feel tall and commanding; spacing reads moderately tight, creating a continuous, flowing rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding where the high contrast can read cleanly. It can work for short passages in editorial layouts when set large with comfortable leading, but the hairlines and tight detailing are most effective when given ample size and printing/screen conditions that preserve thin strokes.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, evoking polished magazine typography and high-end branding. Its sharp contrast and assertive italic motion give it a sense of speed and sophistication, with a slightly formal, old-world elegance rather than a casual handwritten feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic serif voice: dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and a fluid slanted rhythm aimed at premium editorial and brand expression rather than utilitarian body text.
Several glyphs feature distinctive ball/teardrop details and fine entry/exit strokes that add sparkle at display sizes. The numerals share the same steep italic angle and contrast, with curvy forms and small finishing strokes that keep them stylistically aligned with the alphabet.
