A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The letterforms show a strong diagonal stress, narrow joins, and crisp, tapered terminals that create a bright, polished texture in text. Capitals are slender and slightly expansive in stance, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with long, flowing ascenders and descenders; curves in letters like c, e, and s are drawn with fine entry/exit strokes that feel calligraphic. Numerals are similarly contrasty with elegant curves and light finishing strokes, matching the overall refined construction.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine decks, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding where an elegant italic can carry personality. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations and certificates, and can work for short passages when used with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, with a distinctly formal, editorial feel. Its sharp contrast and italic movement convey glamour and drama without becoming ornamental, suggesting a classic yet fashion-conscious voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and refined finishing, prioritizing elegance and line flow for display and editorial typography.
In the sample text, the spacing and slanted rhythm read as airy and upscale, with bright counters and thin connecting strokes that emphasize line flow. The design’s fine hairlines and pointed details are visually striking at display sizes and can feel more delicate as sizes decrease, especially in dense paragraphs.
