A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines against weighty main strokes. Serifs are fine, crisp, and largely unbracketed, creating a clean, cut-paper edge at terminals. Proportions are compact and tall with a tight rhythm, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the lowercase) show elegant tapering and controlled swelling. The italic is assertive and slightly calligraphic, with lively entry/exit strokes and a distinctive hooked descender on j and a long-tailed y; the single-story a and g reinforce a bookish, classical italic texture.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and italic motion can shine. It works particularly well for editorial layouts, beauty and luxury packaging, and promotional posters when set with generous size and considered spacing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical: poised, high-fashion, and attention-seeking without becoming ornamental. The strong contrast and steep italic slant add urgency and sophistication, evoking magazine typography and luxury branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic italic with maximum contrast and a polished, editorial finish—optimized for impact, elegance, and a distinctly premium voice in display settings.
At smaller sizes the extreme contrast and hairline details are likely to demand adequate resolution and spacing to avoid sparkle or breakup, while at display sizes the crisp serifs and dramatic thick–thin transitions become the main visual feature. Numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast logic, reading as elegant and formal rather than utilitarian.
