This italic serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, hairline serifs and a distinctly vertical stress. Curves are taut and polished, with sharp joins and tapered terminals that read as calligraphic without becoming script-like. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow in rhythm, while the lowercase has a smooth, flowing cadence with a moderate x-height and long, elegant extenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing sturdy stems with fine entry strokes for a consistent, engraved look.
This face is well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium brand identities, and poster titling where high contrast and italic energy can lead the composition. It will also work for pull quotes and short passages in upscale editorial design, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, evoking high-end editorial typography and classic luxury branding. Its contrast and italic movement add a sense of sophistication and momentum, making it feel poised, stylish, and slightly theatrical in display settings.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic serif that prioritizes elegance, sharpness, and editorial impact. Its consistent stress, fine hairlines, and poised proportions suggest a focus on striking display typography and refined brand expression.
The italic angle is steady across cases, and the design maintains a clean, controlled sharpness in hairlines that becomes a key visual feature at larger sizes. Spacing in the samples reads airy and elegant, reinforcing the font’s polished, high-fashion character.
