This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are finely cut and often wedge-like, with a distinctly calligraphic entry/exit on many terminals that creates small flicks and hooks. Capitals feel broad and sculptural with a steady rightward slant, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm through angled stress, teardrop-like joins, and occasional swash-like tails (notably in letters such as g, j, y, and z). Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, mixing strong verticals with delicate hairlines and crisp, pointed terminals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display applications where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging systems that benefit from a refined, high-style serif voice, and can work for short editorial passages set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, pairing classic bookish refinement with a fashion-forward, headline-ready flair. Its strong contrast and energetic italic movement give it a confident, upscale presence that reads as premium and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional italic serif, emphasizing contrast, sharp finishing, and a lively calligraphic rhythm. It aims to provide impact and sophistication while retaining recognizable, conventional serif letterforms.
The sample text shows a smooth, flowing texture at larger sizes, where the thin hairlines and sharp serifs add sparkle and the italic angle increases momentum. At smaller sizes, the extreme contrast and delicate details may call for careful use and sufficient resolution to preserve the finest strokes.
