A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. The forms are compact and tightly spaced in feel, with a vertical-leaning italic slant and long, tapering entry/exit strokes that give the outlines a drawn, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often resolving into thin wedges or hairlines, while main stems and bowls carry bold, smooth curves. Capitals show sculpted, high-contrast silhouettes and the lowercase maintains a steady text-like structure with a balanced, readable x-height despite the dramatic stroke contrast.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand statements where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It fits fashion and lifestyle editorial design, luxury packaging, beauty or fragrance identities, and high-end event collateral where a sophisticated serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its sharp italics and luminous hairlines suggest sophistication and style, while the dramatic contrast adds a sense of ceremony and flair suited to premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, editorial italic with heightened contrast and sharp finishing details, balancing traditional serif construction with a more dramatic, contemporary runway-like polish.
The numerals echo the same elegant contrast and slanted stress, with graceful curves and fine finishing strokes that read well in display contexts. The italic construction emphasizes flowing diagonals and tapered joins, creating a lively line texture that feels more suited to headlines than long, small-size reading.
