A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller, wedge-like thick strokes that create a pronounced diagonal rhythm. Serifs are fine and crisp, often bracketed into the stems, with delicate terminals that flick and curl in places (notably in the lowercase and numerals). The capitals feel poised and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows a flowing, calligraphic construction with a single-storey “a” and “g”, a lively “f”, and an energetic italic “w”. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that emphasize a refined, editorial texture.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display roles in editorial and fashion-oriented layouts. It can also serve elegantly for invitations, branding accents, and short passages where a refined italic voice is desirable and hairline detail can be preserved.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and high-end editorial styling. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic forms add drama and sophistication, giving text a cultured, expressive voice rather than a purely utilitarian one.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif presence: crisp hairlines, sculpted thick strokes, and calligraphic movement that elevate typography with contrast and grace. The emphasis is on expressive elegance and editorial polish rather than long-form neutrality.
In paragraph settings the italic angle and contrast produce a lively sparkle, but the finest hairlines and tight joins suggest it will look best when given adequate size and reproduction quality. The glyph set shown maintains consistent stroke logic across letters and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, premium feel.
