A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and prominent thick-to-thin transitions. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a crisp, engraved feel at joins and terminals. The italic slant is assertive and consistent, creating a lively rhythm; counters stay relatively open despite the contrast. Proportions feel contemporary and slightly condensed in impression, with tall ascenders and strong vertical emphasis in capitals and figures.
Best suited to display-forward applications where contrast and slant can be appreciated—magazine and newspaper features, large headlines, posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a dramatic, fashion-forward energy. Its sharp contrast and brisk italic movement read as confident and expressive, lending an editorial sophistication rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation expressed through an emphatic italic, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a refined printed look. Its forms aim to communicate sophistication and impact while remaining legible in well-spaced settings.
Capitals show clear calligraphic influence with angled entry strokes and tapered terminals, while lowercase forms maintain a smooth, continuous flow. Numerals appear lining in style and match the italic momentum, keeping the same crisp hairline detailing.
