A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairline serifs and tapered terminals that create a crisp, glossy texture on the page. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward slant, with smooth, rounded bowls contrasted by knife-like joins and thin entry strokes. Capitals feel tall and poised with generous interior space, while lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, keeping a steady baseline and a clean, controlled italic flow. Numerals match the style with strong contrast and sculpted curves, reading best at moderate to larger sizes where the hairlines stay intact.
Well suited for magazine display, pull quotes, and stylish headlines where contrast and italic movement can take center stage. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, and works nicely for invitations or event materials when used at sizes that preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward character. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic rhythm suggest sophistication and a touch of theatricality, making it feel more ceremonial than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice in an italic form, emphasizing contrast, elegance, and refined detail over neutral everyday text performance. It aims to provide a confident display texture that elevates short passages and title typography.
Stroke endings often resolve into fine, angled wedges or small ball-like details, adding sparkle and punctuation in headlines. Spacing appears slightly lively—consistent with an italic designed to feel fluid rather than rigid—so line color can shift pleasantly across mixed-case text.
