This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and very thin hairlines against strong main strokes. Serifs are crisp and delicate, with sharp, finely tapered terminals that give the outlines a precise, cut-paper feel. The italic construction is lively and calligraphic in rhythm, with flowing entry/exit strokes and noticeable stroke modulation in curves and joins. Proportions lean toward display: capitals feel tall and sculptural, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact counters and assertive ascenders and descenders.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and high-end branding where large sizes can preserve the thin hairlines and crisp serifs. It works well for titles, pull quotes, invitations, and refined promotional materials, particularly when paired with generous leading and a restrained supporting text face.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic forms convey sophistication and a fashion-forward attitude, while the fine details add a sense of exclusivity and precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice built around extreme contrast, sharp serif detailing, and a controlled, elegant rhythm. It prioritizes visual drama and sophistication over neutral, everyday text utility.
In the sample text, the hairlines and delicate serifs become a key part of the texture, creating a shimmering, high-end look at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals read as especially stylized, pairing well with spacious setting and careful tracking to protect the thin strokes.
