This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a generally vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and hairline-like, with minimal bracketing, while many strokes end in tapered, calligraphic terminals. The italic angle is moderately steep and consistent, with narrow internal apertures and a lively, rhythmic baseline flow. Capitals are stately and structured, while the lowercase shows more movement—especially in the f, g, y, and z—with long entry/exit strokes and occasional flourished tails. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic construction, with slim joins and strong directional emphasis.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, section openers, and magazine or book titling where its contrast and italic sweep can be appreciated. It can also work well for luxury branding, packaging, and formal invitations, especially when set with generous size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, projecting sophistication and a touch of theatricality. Its crisp hairlines and dramatic contrast communicate luxury and formality, while the energetic italic forms add momentum and an expressive, literary feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice—combining crisp, hairline detailing with confident thick strokes and expressive cursive-like motion for impactful display use.
At larger sizes the fine serifs and hairlines read as crisp and delicate, creating a bright, airy texture with strong stroke contrast. In longer settings the italic rhythm is prominent, so spacing and line length will strongly influence readability and color.
