This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced calligraphic slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems are weighty and sculpted while hairlines are extremely fine, producing sharp, bright interior counterforms and crisp joins. Serifs read as delicate, bracketed wedges with pointed terminals, and many letters show tapered entry/exit strokes that feel cut with a broad nib. Proportions are generously wide with a steady rhythm across the alphabet; curves are smooth and controlled, and punctuation-like details (dots, spurs, small beaks) are small and precise.
It performs best in headlines and large-format text where the hairline details can remain clear—magazine covers, editorial openers, posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis in invitations or packaging, especially where a sophisticated, high-contrast italic is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and assertive, combining classic bookish refinement with a more fashion-forward, display-led drama. Its sharp hairlines and confident slant evoke high-end editorial typography, where elegance is meant to be noticed rather than quietly recede.
The design appears intended as a statement serif italic that prioritizes elegance, contrast, and stylistic flair for display settings. Its wide stance and crisp detailing suggest a focus on creating impactful titles and refined brand typography rather than unobtrusive body text.
In the sample text, the dense black strokes create strong word shapes and striking emphasis, while the hairlines introduce a sparkling, engraved texture at larger sizes. The numerals share the same italic energy, with curled terminals and high contrast that keep them stylistically consistent with the letters.
