A sharply cut italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Curves show a clear diagonal stress and smooth, sweeping entry/exit strokes, giving forms a streamlined, calligraphic flow. Capitals are relatively tall and narrow with fine finishing strokes and tightly controlled joins, while lowercase shows a compact, text-oriented structure with energetic ascenders and angled terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate horizontals and tapered curves that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine display, and branding where high-contrast italics can provide sophistication and motion. It also works well for pull quotes, cover lines, and book-jacket titling, especially where a refined, premium tone is desired.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a sense of couture polish and theatrical contrast. Its italic rhythm reads confident and expressive rather than casual, suggesting premium editorial taste and a classic, cultured voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic voice: dramatic contrast, controlled elegance, and a fast, fluid texture that elevates display typography while remaining coherent in short-to-medium text settings.
The design relies on very fine hairlines and sharp details, so it reads most convincingly when reproduction is clean and sizes are generous. Spacing appears measured and steady in running text, with a graceful rightward slant that maintains momentum across long lines.
