A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms are strongly right-slanted with crisp entry and exit strokes, tapered terminals, and a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel tall and poised with fine, pointed serifs and smooth curves, while the lowercase is compact and flowing with narrow joins and delicate hairlines. Numerals match the italic voice, combining sturdy main strokes with thin, sweeping finishing strokes for a consistent, polished texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where contrast and italic energy can lead the composition. It also fits fashion and lifestyle branding, refined packaging, and formal invitations when a classic, high-end voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, conveying luxury and formality through its razor-thin details and sweeping italic movement. It reads as classically inspired and editorial, with a sense of fashion and ceremony rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-style serif italic with dramatic contrast and a smooth, calligraphic flow, prioritizing elegance and expressive emphasis in display and editorial typography.
The italic angle and strong contrast create lively word shapes, especially where strokes finish in long, tapered flicks. The design relies on fine details for its character, so it visually rewards larger sizes where hairlines and serifs can remain crisp.
