A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, weighty main strokes. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic axis and crisp, finely cut serifs that often resolve into sharp beaks and tapered terminals. Counters are relatively open, curves are clean and controlled, and joins stay precise, creating a polished rhythm that feels deliberate rather than casual. The lowercase shows a traditional italic construction with single-storey forms and flowing entry/exit strokes, while capitals are wide and sculptural with pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and finesse can shine—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and elegant event materials. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments when given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, projecting a classic, high-fashion sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and sleek italics evoke magazine typography, upscale branding, and formal print traditions.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics—prioritizing glamour, sharp detail, and striking thick–thin modulation for impactful display composition.
Spacing in the samples reads spacious and airy, helping the thin hairlines survive at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry strong, chiseled silhouettes that add flair, while the lowercase maintains a steady, text-like cadence despite the dramatic contrast.
