A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapering hairlines. The letterforms show vertical stress with crisp wedge-like serifs and fine terminals, giving strokes a polished, engraved feel. Uppercase proportions are elegant and slightly narrow in rhythm, while the lowercase carries a fluid italic ductus with long, clean ascenders/descenders and a smooth baseline flow. Curves are taut and controlled, with pointed joins and delicate entry/exit strokes that keep counters open despite the contrast.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, brand marks, and premium packaging where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or titling, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is sophisticated and upscale, evoking editorial typography, luxury branding, and classic bookish elegance. Its pronounced italic movement adds drama and a sense of cultivated flair, reading as poised rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a modern-didone sense of elegance through extreme contrast, vertical stress, and an expressive italic cadence. The intent appears focused on creating a stylish, high-end voice for prominent text rather than utilitarian continuous reading.
The figures appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the text color and refinement of the alphabet. In the sample text, the slanted forms create a lively rhythm, but the finest hairlines suggest it will look best where reproduction is crisp and sizes aren’t too small.
