A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in the main stems and bowls. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with a calligraphic, engraved feel, and many strokes terminate in pointed spurs that emphasize forward motion. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with narrow apertures and a smooth, rhythmic curve flow; the overall texture reads clean and bright at display sizes, with delicate joining strokes that can thin out in smaller settings.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and pull quotes where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also work for branding in beauty, luxury, and cultural contexts, especially when set at moderate-to-large sizes where the hairlines and sharp terminals remain clear.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, combining old-style literary poise with a modern, fashion-forward sheen. Its pronounced contrast and sleek italics convey luxury, drama, and editorial authority more than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif with a strong sense of calligraphic movement and crisp, engraved detailing. It prioritizes elegance and expressive emphasis, offering a distinctive italic presence that stands out in display and editorial roles.
Capitals show controlled, sculpted forms (notably in C, G, S) and the Q features a distinctive sweeping tail. Lowercase has a lively italic cadence with a single-storey a and g, and the figures follow the same slanted, high-contrast model for a cohesive typographic color in mixed text.
