A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, engraved feel. Strokes shift rapidly from hairline thins to weighty verticals, with pointed, wedge-like serifs and crisp terminals that often finish in a slight flick. The italic angle is assertive and consistent, creating a lively forward rhythm; round forms show taut curves and narrow counters, while diagonals and joins stay sharp and clean. Uppercase proportions read refined and slightly condensed in presence, and the lowercase maintains a traditional text-seriffed skeleton with elegant ascenders and compact, dark bowls.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where sharp contrast and italic movement can be featured. It can also work for short pull quotes, titles, and lead-ins when ample size and spacing preserve its fine hairlines and crisp details.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, combining classical bookishness with runway-style drama. Its pronounced contrast and energetic slant give it a confident, headline-ready voice that feels polished, formal, and a bit theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic serif with strong contrast and a cultivated, print-centric elegance. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and refined detailing to create impact in display and editorial contexts while retaining a conventional serif structure for familiar readability.
The numerals and capitals carry strong display character, with distinctive stress and a pronounced interplay of thick and thin that becomes especially prominent at larger sizes. In continuous text, the dark rhythm and sharp details create a sparkling texture, while the italic emphasis reads clearly and intentionally.
