A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and strong thick-to-thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals. The italic angle is assertive, with a lively, sweeping rhythm across words; curves are taut and controlled while diagonals feel crisp and clean. Uppercase forms read tall and stately, while lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g and narrow, tapered strokes that emphasize a glossy, engraved look.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where its high contrast and hairline details can remain crisp. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal invitations that benefit from a refined, classical italic voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and sharp details convey sophistication and a sense of high fashion, while the classic proportions keep it rooted in traditional bookish refinement rather than casual handwriting.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical high-contrast italics: dramatic stroke modulation, sharp finishing, and an energetic slant that produces a sleek, premium typographic signature in display contexts.
Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the extreme hairlines and fine serifs create a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing bold main strokes with thin connecting lines for a formal, display-oriented feel.
