A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely pointed serifs that read as lightly bracketed and blade-like. The letterforms lean with a consistent forward angle and show a calligraphic modulation: thin hairlines and thick stems meet in crisp joints, creating a lively diagonal rhythm. Capitals feel tall and elegantly proportioned with pronounced stroke flare at key corners, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and narrow apertures that keep the texture sleek. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, engraved-like treatment, reinforcing an overall refined, cutting silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and italic energy can be showcased at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or packaging/labels that benefit from a luxe, classic-leaning voice.
The tone is elegant and fashion-forward, with a dramatic, editorial polish. Its crisp contrast and keen terminals suggest luxury, ceremony, and a slightly theatrical sophistication rather than casual warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a sophisticated italic display serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctive, sharply finished serif vocabulary. The intent appears to emphasize elegance and motion while keeping forms consistent enough for polished editorial composition.
In text, the strong diagonal stress and delicate hairlines create a shimmering, high-end page color, especially in mixed-case setting. The most distinctive character comes from the pointed entry/exit strokes and the crisp, angular finishing that gives many letters a subtly 'carved' feel.
