This serif italic features pronounced thick–thin modulation with a calligraphic, diagonal stress and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and pointed, often hairline in weight, with subtle bracketing where strokes meet. Curves are smooth and generous, while entry and exit strokes are long and blade-like, giving letters a flowing, forward motion. Uppercase forms feel refined and classical, and the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with slender stems, open bowls, and an overall polished, high-fidelity silhouette.
It excels in display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and subheads where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It is also well-suited to luxury and fashion branding applications—titles, packaging accents, and campaign typography—especially at medium to large sizes.
The font communicates sophistication and drama, pairing a cultivated, editorial tone with a distinctly luxurious finish. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italic forms suggest fashion, culture, and premium branding, while maintaining a composed, literary sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast italic, prioritizing refined silhouettes, sharp finishing details, and a dynamic reading rhythm. It aims to provide an upscale, editorial voice that feels expressive without becoming ornamental.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, with slender diagonals and delicate terminals that read best when given breathing room. In running text, the consistent slant and sharp tapering create a bright texture that emphasizes elegance over ruggedness.
