This is a sharply italic serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The letterforms are narrow and flowing, with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered, joins are crisp, and curves show strong stress, giving counters a delicate, sculpted feel. Uppercase proportions read stately and high-waisted, while the lowercase is streamlined with compact bowls, a single-storey italic a, and long, blade-like ascenders and descenders that emphasize verticality and motion.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where its fine detailing and contrast can be appreciated. It fits premium branding, fashion and beauty layouts, cultural/editorial publishing, and elegant event materials where a refined italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking the feel of luxury publishing and fashion titling. Its pronounced contrast and graceful slant suggest sophistication and drama more than neutrality, with a distinctly classic, continental elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, high-fashion italic with classical serif cues—prioritizing elegance, motion, and refined contrast for eye-catching typography in editorial and brand contexts.
At larger sizes the razor-thin hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture across words. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with sculpted curves and occasional sweeping entry strokes that add a decorative, display-forward flavor.
