A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced diagonal slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes shift from hairline thins to weighty verticals, with bracketed serifs that feel cut and slightly calligraphic rather than purely mechanical. The letterforms are wide and open, with generous counters and a smooth, sweeping rhythm through curves and joins. Numerals and capitals maintain the same razor-thin detailing and strong thick–thin modulation, creating a polished, high-end texture in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand statements where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text in high-quality print or large on-screen settings, especially in editorial and fashion-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, evoking luxury editorial typography and formal print traditions. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of speed and flair while retaining a composed, classic presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and italic dynamism, prioritizing elegance and visual impact. Its wide proportions and refined detailing suggest a focus on expressive display typography that still reads as conventionally bookish and premium.
In the sample text, the hairlines become a defining feature, producing a shimmering texture and emphasizing the font’s contrast and finesse. Several forms show graceful, slightly extended entry and exit strokes, reinforcing a calligraphic influence and giving word shapes a lively cadence.
