This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean with a consistent angle, combining crisp wedge-like serifs with smooth, calligraphic joins and occasional ball terminals. Proportions read on the wider side, and the rhythm is energetic, with flowing curves and sculpted counters that stay open in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same chiseled, swept quality, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style editorial typography where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work well for premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, high-fashion voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, with a dramatic, couture-leaning elegance. Its crisp contrast and italic motion evoke classic print sophistication—confident, slightly theatrical, and premium in feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a distinctly italic, calligraphic finish—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and forward motion for expressive, high-impact typography.
In running text the slant and contrast create a strong forward momentum, while the wide stance helps preserve clarity at larger sizes. The design balances sharpness (points, tapered strokes) with softness (rounded terminals and bowls), producing a lively texture that remains controlled rather than ornamental.
