A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, razor-fine hairlines, and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The forms show a strong rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with teardrop/ball terminals appearing in several lowercase letters and a generally sculpted, chiseled finish in curves and joins. Uppercase shapes feel stately and relatively narrow, while the lowercase is more elastic and flowing, creating noticeable texture shifts between letters and giving the overall set an intentionally varied, couture-like cadence.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, luxury branding, and premium packaging where the hairlines and contrast can be preserved. It also works well for pull quotes, campaign taglines, and short bursts of text where an expressive italic voice is desired.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, with a runway/editorial polish that reads as premium and intentional. Its sharp contrast and italic momentum suggest sophistication and theatricality more than neutrality, leaning toward classic luxury cues with a modern, high-gloss edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-fashion, high-contrast italic for statement setting, combining classic Didone-like structure with calligraphic liveliness. Its goal seems to be visual drama and refinement rather than everyday text neutrality.
The numerals echo the same high-contrast, display-oriented construction, with delicate entry/exit strokes and prominent thick stems that create sparkle in larger sizes. In text settings the italic angle and hairline detail create a dynamic line rhythm that can feel energetic and emphatic, especially in mixed-case words.
