A sharply modeled italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. The letterforms lean consistently, with crisp wedge-like terminals and fine, unbracketed serifs that often resolve to needle points. Curves show a vertical, fashion-style stress and smooth, polished contours, while joins and beaks stay precise and minimal. Spacing feels tailored and compact, and the figures follow the same calligraphic rhythm with slender diagonals and high-contrast strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, and high-end branding where the contrast and italic motion can shine. It also works well for elegant invitations and short-form titling, especially at generous sizes and with careful attention to reproduction quality.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting a poised, high-fashion sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and sleek italic movement add a sense of speed and glamour, making text feel curated and premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic serif for premium editorial and branding contexts, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a refined typographic rhythm over everyday text ruggedness.
In the sample text, the extreme hairlines and tight internal counters become more delicate at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the crisp serifs and sculpted swashes of italic forms. The italic capitals read particularly stately and poster-like, with strong vertical stems balanced by fine finishing strokes.
