This is a high-contrast serif italic with a steep rightward slant and sharply tapered, hairline serifs. Strokes alternate between razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick stems, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm across words. Letterforms are relatively narrow and upright in construction despite the italic angle, with crisp terminals, pointed joins, and tightly controlled curves that keep counters clean. The overall texture in text is airy and bright, with delicate connecting strokes and a distinctly formal, polished finish.
It suits editorial layouts, pull quotes, and magazine typography where an expressive italic voice is needed. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, invitations, and short-form display settings that benefit from high contrast and a refined, traditional serif character.
The tone is refined and dramatic, evoking classic book typography and fashion/editorial styling. Its sharp contrast and poised italic movement feel sophisticated and expressive rather than casual, giving text a sense of ceremony and high-end taste.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion for sophisticated typesetting—prioritizing elegance, motion, and a bright typographic color for titles, emphasis, and polished editorial use.
In longer passages the thin hairlines and fine serifs produce a sparkling page color, while the stronger verticals help maintain structure. The numerals follow the same contrasting, italicized logic, reading as elegant and display-friendly rather than utilitarian.
