A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to extremely fine joins and terminals, creating a bright, sparkling texture in text. The italics are moderately slanted with distinctly calligraphic entry/exit strokes—visible in letters like f, j, y, and the curved descenders—while capitals remain refined and sculptural with clean, sharp serifs. Proportions feel classical with a contained x-height, generous ascenders, and open counters that keep the delicate hairlines from collapsing at display sizes.
Best suited to fashion and culture magazines, luxury branding, and high-end packaging where a dramatic italic can carry personality. It works well for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling, and can also complement formal stationery or invitations when set at sufficiently large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a couture/editorial character and a sense of ceremony. Its dramatic contrast and flowing italics suggest sophistication and luxury rather than neutrality, lending a confident, headline-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic with strong contrast and calligraphic energy—prioritizing refined detail and a premium feel in display typography over utilitarian everyday text use.
Numerals and caps share the same refined contrast and italic momentum, with slender diagonals and tapered terminals that emphasize motion. Spacing appears comfortable for display and short text, but the extreme hairlines and sharp details visually dominate, especially in dense paragraphs.
