This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant, crisp hairline serifs, and a clear vertical-stress logic. Strokes transition from very thin hairlines to stronger stems, producing a sharp, engraved feel rather than a soft, calligraphic one. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with compact counters and relatively tight apertures, especially in rounds like C, G, and e. Terminals tend to be pointed and clean, and the overall texture reads as refined and slightly compressed, with consistent slanted rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, titles, and luxury-oriented branding where high contrast and italic dynamism are assets. It can work for short passages in print-oriented contexts when set with comfortable size and leading, but it will generally shine most in larger settings where hairlines and sharp serifs remain clear.
The font communicates sophistication and formality, with a dramatic, fashion-leaning polish. Its sharp contrast and italic momentum add a sense of speed and prestige, suggesting traditional refinement with a modern, graphic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion italic serif voice with strong contrast and crisp detailing, prioritizing elegance and visual drama over ruggedness or neutrality. It aims to provide a distinctive editorial tone with a consistent italic cadence across the character set.
Capitals are stately and angular, while the lowercase maintains a controlled, editorial italic voice rather than a loose script. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, helping keep mixed text cohesive; the overall color can appear delicate at smaller sizes due to the very thin hairlines.
