This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed, calligraphic terminals and a consistent rightward slant that gives letters a forward, sweeping motion. Capitals feel tall and stately with narrow joins and fine finishing strokes, while lowercase forms show compact, controlled bowls and a relatively moderate x-height. Numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with thin entry/exit strokes and strong vertical emphasis.
It works best for magazines, lookbooks, and other editorial settings where elegant italics are used for headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and short passages. It’s also well suited to luxury branding, packaging, event materials, and invitations where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a premium voice.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, projecting a classic luxury sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic rhythm add a sense of speed and glamour, making the text feel curated and upscale rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serif forms, prioritizing elegance and visual impact. Its disciplined modulation, sharp detailing, and energetic slant suggest a focus on display typography that elevates titles and statements with a distinctly upscale finish.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm read cleanly at display sizes, where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated without breaking down. The italic construction is assertive, with angled stress and crisp, wedge-like finishing that gives words a distinctive, fashionable silhouette.
