A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and tapered, calligraphic terminals. The design shows strong diagonal stress, slender joins, and pronounced thick–thin modulation that creates a lively rhythm across words. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with crisp entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms lean smoothly with compact counters and a clean, consistent baseline. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with refined curves and delicate finishing details that read best at moderate to large sizes.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book or journal titling, fashion and beauty branding, and other high-end display settings where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also works for short pull quotes, menus, and invitations, but the delicate hairlines and strong contrast make it less ideal for small-size, dense body text in low-resolution or low-contrast reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and swift italic movement suggest sophistication, luxury, and a classic literary voice rather than utilitarian neutrality.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic, premium italic with a strong calligraphic sensibility and striking contrast, prioritizing elegance and expressive rhythm for editorial and display typography.
The ampersand is expressive and flowing, and punctuation appears fine and light relative to the main strokes, reinforcing the airy, high-contrast texture. The slanted forms and sharp finials give headlines a sense of motion and precision, while long passages appear elegant but visually intense due to the contrast.
