A sharply contrasted italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp hairline serifs. Thick verticals and swelling curves transition quickly into fine joins and delicate finishing strokes, creating a bright, high-fashion texture on the page. Capitals feel formal and poised with tapered arms and subtle curvature, while the lowercase shows lively, slightly varied widths and rounded bowls. Numerals echo the same contrast, with thin entry strokes and fuller main curves that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, and other editorial applications where contrast and elegance are an asset. It can also support luxury branding, packaging, and formal stationery such as invitations, especially when used at moderate-to-large sizes where the hairlines stay crisp.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining traditional bookish manners with a more theatrical, runway-like sheen. Its strong contrast and slanted rhythm suggest sophistication and confidence, lending a sense of luxury and ceremony to short passages and headlines.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice that feels contemporary in polish while remaining grounded in traditional serif letterforms. The emphasis appears to be on expressive rhythm and refined detail for display and editorial typography.
In text settings the italic angle creates strong forward motion, and the fine hairlines become a prominent stylistic feature—especially in diagonals and joins—so spacing and size will meaningfully affect the perceived smoothness. The italic construction appears consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, intentionally stylized voice rather than a purely utilitarian text italic.
