This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairline serifs. Stems swell dramatically from thin connecting strokes, giving a sharp, polished rhythm, while the italic angle is steady and consistent across caps and lowercase. The capitals are tall and formal with wedge-like terminals and clean, crisp serifs; curves are tightly controlled with smooth, glossy joins rather than soft, calligraphic modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and lively, with a single-storey italic a and g, a gently descending f, and a long, graceful y tail; the t has a light, minimal crossbar. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with a distinctive curled 2 and a compact 3, and overall spacing that reads slightly tight in text, enhancing the dense, editorial color.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant title treatments where the contrast can shine. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitation work, and can be effective for short italic passages or emphasis in high-quality print when set at comfortable sizes.
The font conveys a poised, luxurious tone associated with fashion, publishing, and classical refinement. Its sharp contrast and disciplined italic slant feel ceremonious and confident, suggesting sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical high-contrast italics, prioritizing dramatic stroke contrast, crisp detailing, and a refined, premium texture for display-led typography.
In running text the hairlines become especially delicate, creating an airy sparkle and a strong black–white interplay. The italic structure is more constructed than handwritten, making it suitable for polished display while still carrying momentum and emphasis.
