A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline serifs. Forms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm: curved strokes swell into dense verticals, then taper quickly into crisp, needle-like exits. Serifs are delicate and bracketed rather than blocky, and many terminals finish in sharp beaks or softly curved hooks. Counters are relatively open for a Didone-leaning style, while joins and stress create a lively, flowing texture across words.
This style excels in large sizes for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also suits luxury-oriented branding elements—logotypes, packaging titles, invitations, and campaign graphics—where a refined, classic voice is desired. In longer text, it works best for short bursts such as introductions, captions, or emphasis rather than dense continuous reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sense of drama. Its contrast and italic energy give it a poised, expressive voice suited to sophisticated, attention-seeking typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice: crisp, high-contrast forms that feel premium and expressive while remaining conventionally structured enough for editorial composition.
Capitals appear stately and slightly narrow with clear stroke contrast, while the lowercase is more animated, with distinctive italic entry strokes and looping/curled endings on letters like a, f, y, and z. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and slanted posture, reading as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
