A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing and a generally polished, engraved feel rather than blunt slabs. The uppercase shows high-waisted proportions and sculpted curves, while the lowercase is compact and slanted with lively entry/exit strokes; bowls and joins transition quickly from hairlines to dense stems, creating a bright rhythm across words. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate diagonals and thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other display-forward typography where its contrast and italic energy can read cleanly. It also fits editorial and fashion contexts, boutique branding, and refined event materials where a dramatic, classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and high-impact, projecting a fashionable, editorial confidence. Its steep italic angle and glittering hairlines add drama and a sense of luxury, while the traditional serif construction keeps it anchored in classic print aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics, prioritizing elegance and visual tension between hairlines and heavy strokes. It aims to provide a sophisticated display texture with strong motion and a premium, print-oriented character.
In text, the strong diagonal stress and tight hairline details create a dynamic texture that feels most at home at larger sizes or in well-controlled layouts. The punctuation and dots appear small and crisp, reinforcing the delicate, razor-edged finishing throughout.
