A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a consistent rightward slant and a smooth, pointed rhythm, with tapered terminals and crisp apexes in letters like A, V, W, and Y. Curves are tightly controlled and glossy in feel, while counters remain relatively open for the style. Overall spacing reads slightly lively and uneven by design, contributing to a dynamic texture in longer lines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other prominent typography where the high contrast can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, event materials, and formal invitations. For longer reading, it will perform more comfortably at larger sizes and in well-spaced layouts.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and ceremony more than everyday neutrality, evoking classic bookish elegance with a modern, high-style edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, high-fashion italic serif voice with crisp detailing and a refined, premium finish. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact through strong contrast, sharp serifs, and a flowing, calligraphic slant.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with stylized shapes and delicate joins that feel display-oriented. In text, the strong diagonal stress and thin connective strokes create a shimmering line color, especially at larger sizes and with generous leading.
