A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a steady rightward slant and a refined, calligraphic stress that gives strokes a sharpened, chiseled feel. Capitals are sleek and formal, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, delicate entry strokes, and pointed terminals; the overall rhythm is brisk and slightly compressed, with generous white space around the glyphs.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal invitations, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The font conveys a polished, cultivated tone—more refined than casual—suggesting luxury editorial typography and classic literary styling. Its sharp contrast and italic motion add drama and sophistication, producing a poised, upscale impression.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classical high-contrast italic, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a graceful reading rhythm. It aims to provide a sophisticated voice for display and editorial typography while maintaining a traditional serif structure.
The numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with thin connecting strokes and tapered curves that read best at medium to large sizes. In text, the tight joins and hairlines create a shimmering texture, emphasizing a graceful, fashion-forward voice rather than a rugged or utilitarian one.
