A sharply contrasted italic serif with tall proportions and a taut, vertical rhythm. Thick stems snap into hairline cross-strokes and serifs, producing a crisp, engraved look with pronounced stress and clean, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow apertures and tight counters, while capitals feel stately and slightly condensed. The lowercase is more fluid, with lively entry/exit strokes and a compact, even x-height that keeps text lines sleek and continuous.
Best used where elegance and contrast can be appreciated: magazine and book titling, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and formal invitations. It also works well for short editorial passages, captions, and pull quotes when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its strong contrast and italic motion add drama and momentum, making it feel suited to tasteful, image-forward communication rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with pronounced contrast and a disciplined, contemporary finish. It aims to provide a striking headline texture and a refined typographic signature while maintaining enough regularity to function in short text settings.
In the sample text, the italic slant reads consistent and energetic, and the high-contrast details become a defining texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast with elegant curves, supporting a cohesive typographic palette for headlines and pull quotes.
