A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms lean strongly forward with a crisp, engraved rhythm: thick vertical and diagonal strokes snap into fine connecting lines, creating sharp light–dark patterning across words. Terminals are often pointed or hooked, and many lowercase forms show small swashes and teardrop-like joins that add movement without becoming fully script. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and lively, calligraphic curves. Numerals match the style with dramatic contrast and angled stress.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand wordmarks, and elegant event materials. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where the high contrast and italic cadence can be appreciated without demanding long-form readability.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and italic energy communicate sophistication and drama, lending a sense of luxury and formality. The subtle swashiness adds a romantic, expressive edge while staying within a structured serif tradition.
Likely drawn to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic serif with an editorial/luxury voice, combining classical Didone-like sharpness with a touch of calligraphic flair. The design emphasizes dramatic contrast, forward motion, and refined detail for attention-grabbing display use.
The design rewards larger sizes where the hairlines and fine details remain crisp; at smaller sizes the delicate strokes may visually thin out. The italic construction is consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, flowing texture in text settings.
