A highly contrasted italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharp, delicate serifs. The letterforms show a strong calligraphic slant with smooth, swelling thick strokes and fine joining strokes that create a bright, airy texture. Proportions feel tall and poised, with generous curves and neatly tapered terminals; counters are open and the overall rhythm is flowing rather than rigid. Numerals and capitals carry the same polished, high-contrast construction, reading clean and sculptural at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book editorial display, and high-end branding where elegance is the priority. It can also work for invitations and formal collateral, especially when set with sufficient size and leading to preserve the fine details.
The tone is refined and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and editorial typography. Its thin detailing and graceful italic movement suggest sophistication and formality, with a modern, high-end finish.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice with dramatic contrast and refined detailing. The emphasis appears to be on stylish display typography that feels contemporary while referencing traditional high-contrast serif models.
In the sample text, the very fine hairlines and sharp serifs create a shimmering texture that benefits from comfortable size and ample spacing. The italic angle is pronounced, and the stroke modulation is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, polished look.
