A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline transitions. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with a calligraphic, pen-driven feel that produces lively entry and exit strokes. Proportions skew slightly narrow with compact counters and a strong diagonal stress; the overall rhythm is energetic, with letters appearing to “lean” forward while maintaining clear, controlled outlines. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted contrast and tapered terminals, giving the set a coherent, polished texture in text.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where contrast and motion are desirable. It can also support refined packaging, invitations, and book-cover titling, pairing well with restrained sans serifs or low-contrast romans for hierarchy.
The tone is sophisticated and classic, with a distinctly editorial polish and a touch of theatrical flair. Its strong contrast and italic flow convey luxury, ceremony, and literary authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with strong calligraphic contrast for impactful editorial and display use, prioritizing elegance and dynamic stroke rhythm.
In running text the dense contrast creates a sparkling page color, especially where hairlines stack in sequences of curves. The italic construction is assertive, with generous curves and sharp terminals that read best when given adequate size or print-quality rendering.
