A high-contrast italic serif with hairline connecting strokes and sharply tapered, sculpted serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal slant and an upright, rational rhythm, with thin horizontals and strong vertical emphasis that creates a crisp, luxurious texture. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with narrow joins, small apertures in places, and a clear modulation between thick stems and fine terminals. Numerals follow the same refined, calligraphic contrast, pairing delicate curves with pointed finishing details.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic cadence can read clearly—magazine headlines, fashion branding, chapter openers, pull quotes, and elegant event materials. It can also work for short passages or refined titling in print, especially at comfortable sizes with enough line spacing to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, projecting sophistication and editorial confidence. Its dramatic contrast and poised italic movement feel boutique, literary, and fashion-oriented rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a striking page color over rugged small-size robustness. Its controlled modulation and refined terminals suggest a focus on premium editorial and branding applications.
The italic construction is expressive but disciplined: many terminals end in fine wedges or beaked forms, and round characters keep a clean, elegant tension rather than a soft, oldstyle warmth. In the sample text, the thin strokes brighten the page and create sparkle, while the heavier strokes keep word shapes crisp at display sizes.
