A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, needlelike hairlines set against fuller main strokes and a clear vertical stress. Serifs are thin and crisp with minimal bracketing, and many joins taper into fine points, creating a bright, sparkling texture. The design is notably slanted with a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm; capitals feel expansive and formal while the lowercase is narrower and more fluid, with a low x-height and long extenders. Curves are clean and polished, with tight apertures and tapered terminals that give letters a fast, cutting finish.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or journal titling, and luxury branding where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also fits formal printed pieces like invitations and certificates, especially at larger sizes where the fine details remain crisp.
The overall tone is upscale and theatrical: poised, fashionable, and classically “editorial.” Its sharp contrast and italic motion suggest luxury, sophistication, and a touch of romantic drama rather than neutrality or utility.
The font appears designed to evoke classic high-contrast serif tradition in an italic, emphasizing refined hairlines, sharp finishing details, and an expressive reading rhythm for sophisticated display typography.
Numerals and capitals show strong display character, with prominent contrast and elegant diagonals that can create a striking cadence in headlines. In continuous text, the combination of low x-height and delicate hairlines favors generous sizing and comfortable spacing to preserve clarity.
