A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, polished contours and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Hairlines are extremely fine, with vertical stems carrying most of the weight and tapered joins that keep counters open and clean. Serifs are small and crisp, often ending in pointed, wedge-like terminals that reinforce the forward motion. Proportions feel display-leaning with relatively narrow forms in places, a tall presence in capitals, and expressive italics in the lowercase, including a single-storey a and g and a flowing f with a long descender.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book titling, and fashion or beauty branding where high contrast and elegance are desired. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes and generous spacing, but performs most confidently as a display italic where its hairlines and sharp terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is luxurious and cultivated, with a distinctly fashion/editorial sensibility. Its steep italic angle and razor-thin detailing add drama and poise, evoking formal print traditions while still feeling brisk and modern in rhythm.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, dramatic italic voice rooted in classical high-contrast serif construction. Its consistent vertical emphasis, crisp serifs, and calligraphic sweep aim to create a premium, editorial texture with strong emphasis and movement.
In the text sample, the contrast and delicate hairlines become a prominent stylistic feature, especially in tighter settings where thin strokes can visually recede. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, mixing strong verticals with fine, sweeping curves for a lively, polished texture.
