A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and very fine hairlines. The forms show a clear vertical stress, with sharp, clean serifs and crisp terminals that stay light and precise. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase is compact with a short x-height, emphasizing ascenders and descenders for a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Overall spacing reads open enough for display use, with an energetic slant and a polished, engraved-like finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial or campaign typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits formal invitations, branding wordmarks, and premium packaging, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is cultivated and sophisticated, leaning toward classic editorial elegance rather than casual friendliness. Its bright hairlines and poised italic movement suggest ceremony, fashion, and literature—more “high style” than utilitarian.
The design intent appears to be an elegant, high-contrast italic for expressive, upscale typography—capturing a classic serif tradition with a light, refined surface and a strong sense of vertical structure.
The italic construction is expressive without becoming swashy: strokes remain controlled and consistent, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic for a cohesive typographic color. The letterforms project clarity at larger sizes, where the delicate details and sharp joins can be appreciated.
