A sharply modeled serif with a pronounced italic slope and very strong thick–thin modulation. Hairline serifs and terminals meet fuller stems with clean, bracketed transitions, creating a crisp, high-fashion silhouette. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm is lively due to the narrow hairlines and sweeping italic entry/exit strokes. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly compressed in gesture, while the lowercase shows calligraphic influence in letters like a, f, g, and y with tapered joins and directional stress.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display settings where its hairlines and italic energy can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, fashion/editorial layouts, and premium packaging applications that benefit from a refined, high-contrast serif voice.
The tone is polished and upscale, leaning toward contemporary editorial elegance rather than rustic or academic tradition. Its high contrast and italic movement give it a sense of drama and sophistication, well suited to premium branding and headline-driven typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end italic serif for editorial and brand-led typography, emphasizing elegance through sharp contrast, hairline finishing, and calligraphic motion while maintaining a conventional serif structure for recognizable reading patterns.
In text, the strong contrast and fine details create a bright, sparkling texture with clear letter differentiation, but they also make spacing and size choices more sensitive than in lower-contrast serifs. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive curves and sharply finished terminals that reinforce the refined character.
