A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The capitals are sleek and streamlined, with fine hairlines, wedge-like serifs, and a slightly calligraphic flow that keeps strokes lively rather than rigidly geometric. Lowercase forms show compact bowls and apertures with energetic joins, and the numerals follow the same refined contrast, using delicate curves and angled finishing strokes for an even, polished rhythm across mixed text.
Well suited to editorial applications such as magazine titles, section heads, and pull quotes, where its contrast and italic rhythm can carry tone. It can also work for premium branding, invitations, and book or album covers, especially when used at larger sizes where the fine detailing is most visible.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion, publishing, and classic print refinement. Its brisk italic movement and sharp detailing lend a sense of sophistication and forward motion, reading as confident and cultivated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented serif voice with an italic emphasis—combining traditional proportions with a sharper, more fashion-forward finish. The goal seems to be expressive elegance for display and editorial typography while preserving coherent text color in mixed-case settings.
In the sample text, the contrast and fine hairlines become a defining feature, giving headlines a luxurious sparkle while maintaining consistent spacing and a smooth baseline flow. The ampersand and italic swash-like inflections in a few forms add a subtle decorative edge without becoming overtly script-like.
