A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and strongly tapered, sculpted stems. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp, calligraphic entry and exit strokes that create a lively, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the style, and curves show a clear diagonal stress, while joins and terminals are neatly finished to keep the overall texture polished rather than rough. Figures and capitals share the same refined, fashion-like contrast and slanted posture, giving the set a cohesive, display-leaning presence even in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial moments such as pull quotes and deck lines, where the contrast and italic energy can read as intentional and upscale. It can also serve for book covers and refined branding, especially where a classic, fashion-forward serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a poised, editorial elegance—confident, stylish, and slightly dramatic. Its pronounced contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and a premium tone, aligning well with luxury, culture, and literary contexts.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary take on classic italic text serifs, prioritizing elegant contrast, calligraphic motion, and a polished page texture for high-end editorial and branding applications.
In running text the spacing and slant produce a smooth, continuous flow, while the thin hairlines and sharp serifs add sparkle at larger sizes. The overall color is relatively light for an italic, with contrast doing most of the visual work rather than heavy stems.
