A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted stems. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing crisp joins, narrow waists, and pointed terminals where strokes thin to near-hairline. Serifs are fine and delicate, often wedge-like and subtly bracketed, giving the forms a polished, engraved feel. Counters are generous and the overall spacing reads airy, while the capitals remain stately and slightly compact in silhouette relative to the more flowing lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and fashion or lifestyle branding where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also fits invitations, packaging accents, and short pull quotes, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is sophisticated and couture-leaning, balancing old-world bookishness with a modern, glossy editorial attitude. Its dramatic contrast and italic motion convey luxury, ceremony, and a sense of crafted refinement rather than neutrality.
The font appears intended as a refined italic companion for premium typography, prioritizing dramatic stroke contrast, graceful movement, and a high-end editorial finish. It aims to deliver a classic, display-forward voice that feels formal and contemporary at the same time.
The design emphasizes sharp stroke modulation and clean, confident curves, which makes it particularly striking at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, reading as elegant display figures with crisp, tapered details.
