A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. Hairline strokes and serifs are extremely fine, while the main stems swell to bold, sculpted forms, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a slightly expansive stance; terminals are sharp and tapered, and curves resolve into delicate, pointed connections. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-italic construction with a single-storey a and flowing joins, while capitals maintain a formal, display-oriented presence.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine covers, section openers, fashion and beauty headlines, luxury brand marks, and premium packaging. It will also work well for pull quotes and short setting where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and couture sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details convey sophistication and ceremony, reading as confident, theatrical, and premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-like elegance in an italic voice, prioritizing dramatic contrast, precision, and a polished editorial rhythm. Its expansive proportions and delicate hairlines suggest a focus on high-impact, high-style display composition rather than dense, small-size text.
In the sample text, the delicate hairlines and serifs become a key visual feature, especially in lighter letters and numerals, where the finest strokes feel intentionally fragile and precise. The italic slant is consistent and controlled, with smooth curves and crisp entry/exit strokes that keep large sizes looking sharp and stylized.
