A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairline serifs, and a distinctly calligraphic, sheared construction. Capitals are narrow and poised with sharp, tapered terminals and subtle entry/exit flicks, while the lowercase shows flowing joins and elongated, angled strokes that create a lively rhythm. Curves in letters like C, G, and S are clean and taut, and the numerals carry the same italic energy with delicate top strokes and sculpted bowls. Overall spacing and proportions favor a sleek, upward-forward texture suited to display sizes.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand expressions that want a premium, fashion-oriented voice. It can shine in logos, invitations, packaging, and pull quotes where high contrast and italic motion add drama and elegance, especially on high-quality print or high-resolution screens.
The tone is polished and upscale, balancing classic bookish refinement with a modern fashion sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and swift italic movement read as confident, stylish, and slightly theatrical—ideal for moments that need sophistication rather than neutrality.
The font appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for refined display typography, using calligraphic stress and sharp, hairline detailing to project luxury and editorial flair.
The design relies on very fine hairlines and sharp details, so it benefits from generous size and careful reproduction. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the forms emphasize graceful curves and pointed terminals over sturdy, blunt finishes.
