A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapering terminals. Serifs read as fine wedges and hairlines, with smooth, sculpted curves and a slightly calligraphic flow through the italic construction. Capitals are stately and relatively wide with crisp joins, while lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes, narrow internal apertures, and a consistent rightward slant. Numerals mirror the same contrast and italic stress, with slender diagonals and delicate top/bottom finishing strokes that emphasize a polished, engraved feel.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and fashion or cultural branding where high contrast and italic elegance can read clearly. It performs well in larger sizes for titles and short passages, and can add a premium, classical note to posters, invitations, and packaging when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and luxe, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and italic rhythm suggest fashion, culture, and high-end storytelling rather than utilitarian text. The letterforms feel poised and classic, projecting confidence and refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast italics, emphasizing sharp refinement and a smooth reading rhythm in display contexts. The consistent stress, delicate serifs, and sculpted curves prioritize elegance and visual impact over rugged versatility.
Stroke contrast becomes especially evident in diagonals (V, W, X) and in the hairline joins of bowls (O, Q, g), giving the face a bright, shimmering texture at display sizes. Counters are relatively tight in several lowercase forms, and the thin serifs and hairlines create a delicate edge that will visually lighten in small sizes or low-resolution output.
