A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp hairline finishing. The letterforms show strong diagonal stress, tapered entry and exit strokes, and sharp, delicate serifs that read as finely cut rather than slabby. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in places, with lively, calligraphic curves in rounds and a noticeable italic forward flow across words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same contrast-driven structure, with elegant, thin joins and pointed terminals that emphasize a polished, editorial look.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, lookbooks, branding systems, and premium packaging where its hairline details can hold up and its contrast can shine. It also works well for pull quotes and short editorial passages when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, projecting a sense of luxury and precision. Its dramatic contrast and swift italic motion create a confident, high-style voice suited to premium branding and refined typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast italic for contemporary editorial and brand typography, combining classical serif structure with a sleek, fashionable sharpness. Its emphasis on refined hairlines and a smooth forward slant suggests a focus on impactful display use while retaining a conventional serif foundation.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature, while in continuous text the strong contrast and energetic italic slant give it a distinctive, attention-grabbing rhythm. The design balances crisp geometry in stems with fluidity in curves, producing a poised, modern-classic impression.
