A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sharp, tapered wedge serifs. Strokes are smooth and clean, with hairline entry/exit strokes and crisp terminals that create a polished, print-like finish. Proportions skew tall and slightly narrow with a lively, forward slant; round forms are tightly drawn and the overall rhythm is quick and sparkling. Uppercase forms feel stately and formal, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic, pen-informed flow with compact counters and energetic joins.
Best suited to fashion/editorial layouts, magazine features, luxury branding, and high-impact headlines where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It also fits formal announcements and invitations, especially when set with generous size and comfortable spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font reads as luxurious and editorial, projecting a sense of couture sophistication and classic prestige. Its bright contrast and italic motion add drama and immediacy, making text feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic italic serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and dramatic contrast for display-forward settings while maintaining a conventional serif structure.
In the sample text, the combination of steep contrast and fine hairlines creates striking texture at larger sizes, with a noticeable shimmer along diagonals and curved strokes. The numerals match the italic, high-contrast voice, reinforcing a cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
