A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a clear rightward slant with calligraphic, diagonal stress, giving strokes a lively, swept rhythm. Serifs are fine and crisp with a mostly traditional, bracketed feel, while joins and curves stay clean and controlled. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, generous ascenders/descenders, and slightly narrow internal counters that enhance the crisp, glossy texture in text.
Well suited to editorial display settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and cover typography. It can also support upscale branding and packaging where an italic, high-contrast serif signals refinement. For longer passages, it will benefit from comfortable sizing and spacing so the fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a polished, literary confidence. Its strong contrast and italic movement add drama and speed, suggesting a premium, classic voice rather than a casual one.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and a crisp, contemporary finish. The intent appears to be expressive emphasis—bringing elegance and momentum to titles and highlighted text while maintaining conventional serif structure.
In the text sample the face produces a distinctly striped rhythm from its contrast, with sharp details that read best when given sufficient size and breathing room. The numerals and capitals carry the same formal, high-contrast language, reinforcing a consistent, editorial look across mixed content.
