This serif italic shows extreme thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and crisp, sharpened terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact with a pronounced rightward slant and a strong vertical rhythm, where heavier vertical strokes contrast against very delicate connecting strokes. The caps are clean and stately, while the lowercase is calligraphic in its movement, featuring teardrop-like joins and fine entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the same high-contrast construction, with slender curves and bold stems that read as display-oriented rather than text-heavy.
Best suited to large sizes where its hairlines and sharp serif detail can be appreciated—mastheads, headlines, pull quotes, and high-end brand typography. It can work for short subheads or elegant titling, but extended small-size text will require careful sizing and printing/screen conditions.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with an unmistakably editorial, runway-adjacent sophistication. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and drama, giving lines a cultured, literary flair while still feeling contemporary and crisp.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice in italic form—maximizing contrast and vertical elegance while keeping forms disciplined and readable in display settings.
In the samples, counters stay relatively open for such a high-contrast style, but the thinnest strokes and serifs become extremely delicate and will be sensitive to reproduction size and output quality. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, helping maintain a smooth line despite the sharp contrast.
