A high-contrast serif italic with razor-thin hairlines, dense vertical stems, and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are small and crisp, often wedge-like, and transitions into strokes are abrupt, creating a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes. The italic construction is pronounced and calligraphic in rhythm, with a consistent rightward slant and lively entry/exit strokes; curves (notably in C, G, S, O, Q and the figures) show tight stress and clean, smooth modulation. Proportions feel slightly tall and narrow in the caps with a poised, high-waisted feel in the lowercase, and the overall spacing reads controlled and formal rather than loose or casual.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, mastheads, and branding where a refined, high-contrast italic can carry personality. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis in editorial layouts, invitations, and premium packaging, particularly when set with generous leading and careful contrast against the background.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a classic “couture” elegance that feels at home in high-end editorial contexts. Its sharp contrast and energetic italic angle give it a dramatic, headline-ready presence while still reading as traditionally bookish and cultured.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice in an italic-forward expression—prioritizing sharp contrast, crisp detailing, and a confident slant for sophisticated editorial impact.
The numerals and punctuation mirror the same contrast logic, with slender linking strokes and bold verticals that keep figures prominent in running settings. The design’s fine hairlines suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions preserve delicate details, especially at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds.
