A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant, sharp hairline serifs, and strong thick-to-thin modulation. Curves show a vertical-leaning stress and crisp terminals that often finish in fine points or tapered strokes. Capitals are tall and stately with delicate cross-strokes and clean, unbracketed serif treatment, while the lowercase is compact and fluid with calligraphic joins and a rhythmic, slightly springy baseline movement. Numerals share the same engraved, hairline detailing, with slender diagonals and delicate finishing strokes that keep the overall texture bright and airy at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine and book display typography, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, event materials, and short-form headlines or pull quotes where the sharp contrast and refined detailing can remain crisp.
The tone is polished and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and elegant italic motion feel ceremonial and high-end, projecting confidence and a sense of luxury without becoming ornamental.
Likely drawn to provide a classic, high-fashion italic serif for display settings, emphasizing elegance through pronounced contrast, vertical stress, and precise hairline finishing. The forms aim for a cultivated, print-inspired character that elevates titles and brand statements with a formal, editorial feel.
The design relies on fine hairlines and tight points, so it reads best when given enough size and resolution to preserve the delicate details. In longer lines the texture feels lively due to the combination of slant, varied letter widths, and sharply tapered terminals.
