A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp, tapered finishing strokes. Thick verticals and hairline joins create a dramatic rhythm, while bracketed serifs and wedge-like terminals keep the forms sharp and controlled. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in stance, with strong diagonal stress in rounded letters, and numerals follow the same engraved, thin-thick logic for a cohesive set. Overall spacing reads open enough for display use, with lively stroke modulation that becomes more delicate at smaller sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and italic energy are desirable. It can also serve for refined branding, invitations, and book or album covers, especially in larger sizes where the hairlines and detailing remain crisp.
The tone is refined and formal, with an editorial, fashion-forward polish. Its strong contrast and italic motion convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, leaning more toward expressive elegance than utilitarian neutrality.
Likely designed to provide a classic, high-fashion italic voice for contemporary editorial and display settings. The emphasis appears to be on dramatic contrast, graceful movement, and a traditional serif foundation that remains polished and readable in short to medium text runs.
The italic construction is consistently applied across upper- and lowercase, giving text a continuous forward momentum. Hairlines are notably fine in curves and cross-strokes, so the design reads best where reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small.
