A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, polished silhouette and a distinctly vertical stress. Thick stems sit against hairline joins and serifs, creating a bright, airy texture in text. The serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, with sharp wedge-like entries and tapered terminals that keep counters open while emphasizing stroke modulation. Capitals are narrow and statuesque with clean, pointed apexes and refined curves, while the lowercase shows a smooth, fast italic rhythm with compact joins and a slightly calligraphic flow.
Best suited for fashion and lifestyle editorial, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also work for book design and chapter titling, especially at sizes where the fine details and high contrast remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and sophisticated, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than casual handwriting. Its sheen and sharpness suggest luxury, tradition, and a cultivated, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxurious italic serif presence with dramatic contrast and a clean, contemporary finish. Its proportions and hairline detailing prioritize elegance and visual refinement for display and editorial settings.
The italic slant is consistent and fairly pronounced, and the contrast creates strong sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with slender diagonals and delicate entry/exit strokes that match the letterforms’ hairline details.
