A high-contrast italic serif with hairline connections and sharply tapered terminals. The design leans on slender, slightly condensed proportions and an energetic rightward slant, with crisp wedge-like serifs and smooth, elliptical curves. Strokes transition quickly from thick to thin, giving counters and joins a polished, glossy rhythm; the capitals feel tall and poised, while the lowercase shows fluid, calligraphic motion with delicate entry/exit strokes and a compact, consistent x-height.
This face is well suited to magazine-style editorial settings, display headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and italic cadence can take center stage. It also fits formal invitations and premium packaging or labels, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered details remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, evoking editorial refinement and luxury presentation. Its pronounced contrast and italic movement add a sense of speed and glamour, making text feel curated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serif italics—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and rhythmic calligraphic flow for display-led typography.
In the samples, the thins become extremely fine at joins and terminals, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous white space. Numerals share the same elegant contrast and angled stress, reading best when given room rather than packed tightly.
