A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, hairline connections and tapered, wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and polished, with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions and pointed terminals that give forms a chiseled, sculptural edge. The italic angle is assertive and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a lively rightward flow; proportions feel moderately narrow overall, with some glyphs showing slightly expanded, swashy diagonals and curved strokes that add variety.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where its contrast and slanted rhythm can be showcased. It can also work well for luxury branding, packaging accents, and formal invitations, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics read as luxurious and fashion-forward, while the classic serif construction keeps it anchored in traditional book and magazine typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-leaning take on a classic italic serif—combining traditional construction with heightened contrast and sharp finishing for impactful display typography and refined editorial emphasis.
Capitals present strong, elegant silhouettes with minimal ornamentation beyond the italic slant and sharp finishing. Lowercase counters stay relatively open for a high-contrast style, and the numerals echo the same refined stress and tapered joins, helping mixed text maintain a cohesive rhythm.
