A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The forms lean with a smooth, continuous slant and show a calligraphic rhythm: swelling main strokes, tapered terminals, and sharply cut joins. Capitals are narrow and stately with strong vertical stress and delicate finishing strokes, while the lowercase is more fluid, with compact counters and a lively italic entry/exit behavior. Numerals echo the same contrast and tapering, giving figures a display-like sparkle at larger sizes.
Well-suited to magazine layouts, fashion and luxury branding, and refined headline or subhead work where high contrast can be showcased. It can also serve for short-form text such as pull quotes, menus, invitations, and packaging copy when printed or rendered at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is luxurious and polished, with a runway/editorial sophistication and a slightly dramatic, high-fashion sparkle. Its sharp hairlines and steep contrast feel formal and curated, evoking classic print refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, premium italic voice with strong contrast and a poised, print-oriented elegance. It prioritizes visual refinement and expressive rhythm over rugged versatility, aiming for high-end editorial and brand applications.
Spacing appears on the tight-to-moderate side in the sample, producing a cohesive, flowing texture typical of italic text serifs. The letterforms maintain consistent stress and contrast across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with especially delicate hairlines that will visually lighten as size decreases or on low-resolution output.
