A condensed serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are tall and taut, with narrow letterforms and a forward slant that creates a brisk reading rhythm. Terminals tend toward sharp, wedge-like finishes rather than rounded endings, and the overall texture alternates strongly between black strokes and delicate connecting hairlines. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, vertical emphasis, producing a polished, display-leaning typographic color.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and formal titling where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve refined branding accents and invitation-style settings, especially when used with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing.
The face conveys a classic, cultivated tone—fashion-forward yet rooted in traditional book and newspaper typography. Its narrow, high-contrast italic posture feels dramatic and sophisticated, suitable for moments where a touch of ceremony or emphasis is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice with condensed proportions, emphasizing sophistication and verticality while maintaining recognizable, conventional letterforms for fluent reading in short to medium passages.
In the sample text, the italic angle and narrow set combine to create strong word silhouettes and a distinct, sparkling texture on white backgrounds. The contrast and fine serifs suggest it will look most controlled when given adequate size and printing/rendering conditions that preserve the thin strokes.
