A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are smooth and clean, with hairline exits and entries that often finish in pointed terminals, giving the forms a sleek, slightly calligraphic rhythm. The italic construction is assertive, with flowing diagonals, compact joins, and occasional swash-like strokes on letters such as the italic capitals and the Q tail. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, combining strong verticals with fine hairlines and angled stress.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other display settings where high contrast and italic motion can carry the design. It also works well for refined branding applications (logos, packaging, mastheads) and formal materials such as invitations, particularly at sizes that preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, suggesting sophistication and a touch of theatrical flair. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italic movement read as luxurious and classic, leaning toward fashion and literature rather than utilitarian text.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif voice with elevated contrast and an expressive italic, balancing classical proportions with a more fashion-forward sharpness. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and impact in display typography while retaining familiar, readable letterforms.
Spacing in the samples feels tuned for display and short-to-medium runs, where the italic slant and sharp details can breathe. The distinctive, elongated terminals and angled stress create lively word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings.
