A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines, swelling main strokes, and sharply tapered entry and exit strokes. Serifs read as fine, pointed wedges rather than blunt slabs, and the overall drawing emphasizes clean curves and smooth, controlled stress. Uppercase forms feel narrow and statuesque, with generous internal counters and a bright, airy color on the page despite the bold thick–thin modulation. The italic is pronounced, with fluid, calligraphic joins in the lowercase and lively tails and descenders that add motion without becoming overly ornate.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style editorial design, fashion and beauty layouts, and high-end branding where elegance and contrast are desired. It excels in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages set large; for smaller sizes, the delicate hairlines suggest using it with care to preserve clarity in print and on screen.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone—poised and fashion-forward—while still feeling traditional and bookish. Its sharp refinement and dramatic contrast suggest sophistication and ceremony, making it feel more like a voice for display typography than everyday utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic serif—optimized for expressive, upscale typography with a strong sense of movement and polish.
Numerals and capitals keep the same razor-edged contrast and angled rhythm, helping headlines look cohesive across mixed content. The italic slant and tapered terminals create a brisk forward movement, and spacing appears balanced for comfortable word shapes at larger sizes where the hairlines can remain visible.
