A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply swelling main strokes. The forms show strong diagonal stress and brisk, calligraphic modulation, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Serifs are fine and precise, often finishing as pointed wedges or hairline flicks, while curves in letters like C, S, and Q feel smooth and tightly controlled. Proportions are fairly traditional, with a moderate x-height and lively italic rhythm that creates a continuous forward flow in text.
Well suited to magazine typography, luxury branding, and editorial headlines where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits invitations, pull quotes, and short passages in larger sizes where the fine serifs and hairlines remain distinct and the rhythm reads as intentionally elegant.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining classical bookish manners with a distinctly fashion/editorial sharpness. Its crisp contrast and energetic slant convey sophistication, drama, and a curated, high-end sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic text voice with heightened contrast and a couture-like finish, prioritizing sophistication, pace, and visual sparkle in display-oriented settings.
The lowercase shows pronounced entry/exit strokes and tapered feet that add sparkle, while capitals maintain a sculpted, display-like presence. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and elegant, matching the italic angle and maintaining a refined, consistent texture.
