This is a sharply contrasted italic serif with a pronounced vertical axis and very fine hairlines. Letterforms are narrow to moderately proportioned with a lively, forward slant, crisp unbracketed serifs, and tapered terminals that often finish in small ball or teardrop forms. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively open for the style, and the rhythm is driven by thin connecting strokes against strong stems. Figures follow the same italic logic, with flowing curves and delicate entry/exit strokes that keep the numerals light and elegant.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where the fine hairlines and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It works especially well in fashion, culture, and editorial contexts, as well as refined invitations and branding applications that benefit from an elegant italic voice.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a fashion and magazine sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and clean, sharp details convey sophistication and a slightly theatrical flair, suited to expressive, luxurious typography rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxe, high-contrast italic with a clear vertical structure and delicate finishing details. It prioritizes elegance and expressive motion, aiming for strong visual impact in short text while maintaining a disciplined, classic serif framework.
The italic has a distinctly calligraphic cadence: many lowercase forms use looped or hooked terminals, and diagonals and joins are handled with slender, sweeping strokes that emphasize motion. Uppercase forms remain stately and structured, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase to create a classic editorial texture.
