A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous slant and show sharp, finely cut serifs that often resolve into pointed terminals. Curves are generous and polished, while joins and stress feel strongly vertical in the round letters, creating a distinctly “high-fashion” rhythm. Uppercase proportions are stately and slightly narrow, and the lowercase features a moderate x-height with compact counters and energetic entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, and premium branding where high contrast and italic flair can be showcased. It also works for pull quotes, invitations, and short-form packaging copy, especially when printed well or used at larger sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical bookish cues with a modern, glamorous sheen. Its sharpness and contrast suggest luxury and formality, while the italic movement adds a sense of motion and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic serif with dramatic contrast for impactful, polished typography. It prioritizes elegance and expressive rhythm over rugged readability, aiming for a luxurious, editorial look.
Spacing appears tuned for display-to-text crossover, but the extreme contrast and delicate hairlines make the texture sensitive to size and reproduction conditions. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with stylized curves and fine terminals, reinforcing a cohesive, upscale voice across settings.
