A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Thick stems and slender connecting strokes create a dramatic light–dark rhythm, while the italic angle is consistent and lively across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Terminals are clean and sharp with occasional ball-like details, and the forms feel tightly drawn with refined curves and controlled apertures. Spacing reads measured and elegant, supporting a smooth, continuous texture in text despite the delicate hairlines.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, mastheads, deck lines, and elegant brand marks where the contrast can be appreciated. It also fits formal applications like invitations and announcements, and works well for short editorial passages or emphasized text where a refined, high-style voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its razor-thin details and sweeping italic motion convey sophistication and ceremony, leaning more toward runway and magazine aesthetics than casual reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice built on strong contrast and meticulous detailing. Its shapes prioritize elegance and impact, aiming for a premium, editorial look with confident typographic presence.
The design relies on fine hairlines and pointed joins, which heighten the sense of precision and sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, helping headlines and pull quotes feel stylistically unified.
