A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp wedge-like serifs, and finely tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and sculpted, with a generally vertical axis that reads as crisp and formal even in italic. The italic slant is consistent across capitals and lowercase, with narrow hairlines, pointed joins, and a lively rhythm created by angled strokes and subtle entry/exit flicks. Lowercase forms show a moderate x-height and open counters; figures are similarly elegant, mixing robust stems with delicate hairline details.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, book covers, and prominent pull quotes where contrast and italic motion can lead the eye. It can also support refined branding and packaging wordmarks when used at sizes that protect the delicate hairlines.
The tone is polished and expressive, projecting luxury and editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and italic cadence feel literary and stylish, with a hint of classic calligraphic flair suited to elegant, high-end communication.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast italics: dramatic stroke modulation, crisp serif treatment, and an elegant reading rhythm optimized for expressive, premium typography.
Capitals appear stately and slightly expansive in presence, while lowercase maintains a flowing texture that stays legible at display sizes. The design leans on crisp edges and fine details, so it benefits from adequate size and breathing room to preserve the hairlines.
