A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Hairline strokes and serifs stay crisp and lightly bracketed, while the main stems and diagonals carry the weight, creating a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Proportions are relatively compact, with tall capitals and a moderate x-height; the italic angle is consistent and fairly steep. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are smoothly drawn with tight joins, and many letters show pointed, calligraphic entry/exit terminals that keep counters open despite the contrast.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, fashion branding, posters, and editorial pull quotes where its hairlines and contrast can shine. It can also work for short subheads or titling in sophisticated layouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and narrow, slanted stance evoke luxury, tradition, and a sense of cultivated formality. The style reads confident and expressive rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with strong contrast and crisp detailing. It prioritizes elegance and impact in display settings, using a consistent slant and sharp terminals to create a distinctive, premium typographic signature.
In the samples, spacing appears tuned for display: the dense forms and fine details create a lively texture at larger sizes, while the thinnest strokes may demand adequate size and printing/screen quality to avoid drop-out. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast logic, giving headlines and titling a cohesive, upscale presence.
