A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines, strong vertical stems, and crisp, pointed serifs. The italic angle is consistent and lively, with teardrop and wedge-like terminals that sharpen many curves and joins. Letterforms feel slightly variable in visual width due to energetic diagonals and pronounced swelling on stressed strokes, creating a rhythmic, sparkling texture. Counters are relatively open, ascenders are tall, and the overall silhouette is sleek and tapered rather than heavy or blunt.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where contrast and italic character can shine. It also fits invitations and luxury-leaning branding, especially for short phrases, titles, and refined typographic accents rather than dense body text at very small sizes.
The tone is polished and aristocratic, leaning toward editorial sophistication. Its bright contrast and swift italic movement suggest ceremony and style—more “written” and expressive than neutral—while remaining composed and traditional.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on classical italic serif manners: maximizing contrast, sharpening terminals, and emphasizing graceful movement for high-impact typography.
At smaller sizes the hairlines and sharp joins read as delicate, while at display sizes the sculpted stress and needle serifs become a defining feature. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine entry strokes that match the italic flow.
