A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and fuller curved strokes that create a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed with a generally unbracketed feel, and terminals often finish in angled, calligraphic cuts. The italic construction shows a consistent rightward slant, narrow apertures, and a flowing baseline rhythm; capitals are tall and stately with clean, chiselled joins. Lowercase forms are compact and neatly proportioned, with a single-storey a and g and a distinctly calligraphic f, helping the face read as poised and literary rather than utilitarian.
Well suited to magazine headlines, luxury/editorial branding, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other prominent typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work for invitations and formal collateral when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, projecting sophistication and a sense of tradition. Its pronounced contrast and italic energy add drama and movement, giving text an editorial, fashion-forward voice while remaining classical in spirit.
The design appears intended as an italic display-oriented serif that emphasizes refined contrast and calligraphic motion, pairing classical proportions with crisp, modern sharpness. Its letterforms aim to deliver a sophisticated, high-end voice and an elevated typographic texture in prominent settings.
The sample text suggests strong word-shape and an even italic color at display and subhead sizes, while the fine hairlines and sharp details imply it will look best with adequate size and good reproduction. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, maintaining a cohesive texture alongside capitals and lowercase.
