A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, a largely vertical stress, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate rather than blocky, with crisp, tapered joins and pointed terminals that emphasize a sleek, calligraphic slant. Proportions feel tall and airy: uppercase forms are stately with narrow internal counters, while the lowercase shows a compact x-height and long extenders. Overall rhythm is smooth and flowing, but with a precise, engraved finish typical of modern contrasted italics.
Best suited to display and editorial settings—magazine headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and refined brand expressions—where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for formal stationery and invitations, especially when used at larger sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The design reads as polished and upscale, combining editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical flair from its steep italic angle and stark contrast. It evokes luxury, fashion, and classical publishing—more about poise and refinement than warmth or neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice with crisp contrast and an elevated, print-centric finish. Its compact x-height and long extenders prioritize elegance and hierarchy, aiming for dramatic emphasis in short bursts of text rather than understated utility.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and tight hairlines become a defining texture, producing a bright, shimmering line of text that favors generous sizes and comfortable spacing. Numerals appear similarly contrasted and elegant, matching the text’s formal, contemporary tone.
