A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes show a consistent diagonal stress, with tapered entry/exit terminals and a polished, pointed finish on many joins. Proportions feel tall and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and a lively, flowing rhythm; counters are clean and open despite the high contrast. Numerals follow the same elegant italic construction, with curving forms and delicate horizontals that emphasize a sleek, editorial texture.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and branded collateral where a sense of elegance is desired. It also fits formal invitations, captions, and pull quotes when set with enough size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and luxe, leaning toward fashion and high-end publishing. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic movement add drama and sophistication, suggesting a classic, cultivated voice rather than an everyday utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice for sophisticated display and editorial settings, prioritizing graceful motion and refined detailing over rugged small-size sturdiness.
The italic angle is assertive and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive forward motion. The design favors fine details and sharp finishing, so spacing and line texture read as airy and refined at display sizes, while small sizes may demand careful use due to thin hairlines.
