A high-contrast italic serif with strong thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and razor-fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, creating crisp joins and a polished, engraved feel. The italic construction is fairly steep, with narrow entry/exit strokes, occasional teardrop-like terminals, and a lively baseline rhythm; proportions run generous in caps and slightly varied in the lowercase, giving a subtly organic texture. Numerals echo the same contrast and sweeping curves, with prominent ball terminals on some forms.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and premium branding where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, and works well for short passages in magazines or book titling when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial glamour. Its dramatic contrast and swooping italics communicate sophistication and a sense of couture or classic literary refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality.
This design appears intended as a modern, high-fashion italic serif that prioritizes elegance and contrast over neutrality. The sharp hairlines, vertical stress, and refined terminals suggest a focus on display typography with a polished, upscale voice.
At display sizes the hairlines read very clean and precise, while in tighter settings the delicate strokes and sharp serifs may demand ample size and spacing to keep the interior detail from closing up. The italic energy is especially pronounced in letters with long descenders and curved terminals, which adds movement and personality in text runs.
