This typeface is a right-leaning serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with a noticeable calligraphic influence in the joins and stroke endings. Capitals show a broad, slightly expansive stance with confident verticals, while round letters are tightly controlled with fine hairlines. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with a single-storey italic ‘a’, a flowing ‘f’, and curved entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, lively texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate hairlines for a polished, display-ready color.
It suits high-impact typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and premium branding where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can also work for short passages or introductory text when set with sufficient size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking classic publishing and fashion contexts. Its sharp contrast and fluid italic movement feel confident and upscale, with a sense of tradition rather than novelty.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic serif that brings a refined, editorial voice to display typography while remaining structured enough for composed, readable setting.
At text sizes the hairlines read very fine, giving the face a bright, airy page color and a pronounced vertical rhythm. The italic construction is expressive without becoming swashy, keeping counters and spacing relatively disciplined for clear word shapes.
