A slanted serif with pronounced vertical stress and a clear thick–thin modulation. Stems are sturdy while connecting strokes and serifs taper to fine hairlines, giving the forms a crisp, cut-like finish. The serifs are sharp and relatively unbracketed, with clean entry/exit strokes and slightly calligraphic curves in letters like a, f, g, and y. Proportions are compact with tight sidebearings, and the rhythm is lively due to noticeable width variation between rounded and straight-sided glyphs.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where contrast can read cleanly at larger sizes. It also fits branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, upscale voice. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably in generous sizes and with ample line spacing to preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, with a distinctly classic, print-oriented sophistication. Its contrast and italic movement add a sense of luxury and drama, suggesting confident, high-end communication rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic, high-contrast italic serif—prioritizing elegance, pace, and a polished page color. It aims to provide a sophisticated typographic voice with strong typographic hierarchy and a distinctly editorial presence.
The figures follow the same contrasted logic as the letters, with elegant curves and tapered terminals; the 0 is oval and the 1 is slim and simple. Capitals feel poised and formal, while the lowercase introduces more flourish through curved descenders and looped forms, enhancing the italic character without becoming overly decorative.
