A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant, crisp tapered terminals, and fine hairlines that snap into darker main strokes. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with wedge-like feet and pointed entry/exit strokes that give the letters a sculpted, engraved feel. The rhythm is lively and slightly calligraphic, with tight curves, narrow apertures, and a noticeable modulation through joins and turns; numerals follow the same elegant stress and contrast.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography where an italic voice is used for emphasis, quotes, standfirsts, and elegant display lines. It can also serve in refined branding moments—such as packaging accents or invitations—where a classical, high-contrast italic is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting sophistication and a traditional, fashion-forward sensibility. Its sharp detailing and strong stroke modulation suggest luxury, ceremony, and editorial authority rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a quintessential high-contrast italic companion for classic serif typography, prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a dynamic, calligraphic flow. It aims to provide a distinctive italic texture that reads as premium and editorial.
In text, the thin hairlines and pointed terminals create sparkle and a distinctly italic texture, especially in diagonals and rounded forms. The face rewards ample size and comfortable leading, where the fine details and contrast can remain clear without crowding.
