A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress, hairline joins, and sharp, tapered serifs. The letterforms are narrow and fast-leaning, with sculpted curves and a crisp rhythm that alternates thick vertical-ish strokes against very thin hairlines. Caps are dynamic and slightly condensed, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and lively, calligraphic movement. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, giving figures a polished, display-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where its contrast and italic sweep can be appreciated. It can also work well for luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and formal stationery where a refined, classical voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, mixing classic bookish refinement with a contemporary, fashion-editorial flair. Its sharp contrast and energetic slant communicate luxury, confidence, and a sense of curated craft rather than neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern take on a traditional high-contrast italic serif—prioritizing elegance, motion, and sharp detail for expressive, premium typography. Its construction suggests an emphasis on display clarity and stylish texture in running words rather than purely utilitarian body text neutrality.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and small details (notably in joins and serifs), which read crisply at larger sizes and create an expressive texture in words. Spacing appears intentionally tight-to-moderate for italic text, reinforcing a flowing, forward momentum across lines.
