A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline connections and dense, inky main strokes. The letterforms lean decisively with a calligraphic stress, pairing tapered, wedge-like serifs with crisp terminals and deep curved joins. Proportions feel moderately narrow and elegant, with smooth curves in rounds and strong vertical presence in stems; counters remain open but tightly controlled. Numerals and capitals follow the same polished, angular logic, creating a consistent, glossy texture at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where the italic gesture and contrast can shine. It also fits premium packaging and fashion/beauty collateral, as well as posters and invitations that call for a refined, classical voice. For long text, it will be most comfortable in short bursts or larger settings where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, with a dramatic, couture-like snap from the strong thick–thin rhythm. It reads poised and premium, leaning toward classic luxury rather than rustic or utilitarian moods.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-fashion italic serif that emphasizes contrast, sharp detailing, and a fluid calligraphic rhythm. It aims to deliver a premium display texture with a traditional serif foundation and a distinctly expressive slant.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature, while tighter spacing and strong slant create an energetic forward motion in words. The design relies on crisp edges and contrast for its personality, so it benefits from clean reproduction and sufficient size.
