A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines set against strong main strokes and a pronounced vertical stress. The letterforms are narrow and airy, with sharply pointed, unbracketed serifs and tapered terminals that create a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are taut and clean, and the italic slant is consistent, producing a lively rhythm in running text. Numerals and capitals share the same dramatic contrast and sharp finishing, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture.
Best suited to display and larger text where the fine hairlines can remain clear—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book titling, and elegant invitations or announcements. It can also work for short, high-impact passages such as pull quotes or section openers where a sophisticated italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and stylish, leaning toward editorial sophistication and classic luxury. Its bright, delicate hairlines and formal italic motion convey a sense of ceremony and polish, with a distinctly literary, high-end voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic serif—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and dramatic stroke modulation for impactful display typography and refined editorial settings.
In the sample text, the thin joins and hairlines create shimmering texture at larger sizes, while the strong thick strokes keep forms recognizable. The italics’ sweeping entry/exit strokes and crisp serifs make it especially expressive in capitalized words and short phrases.
