A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The letterforms are slender and slightly compressed, with long, tapering entry and exit strokes that create a brisk forward motion. Serifs are fine and blade-like, often resolving into pointed wedges, and curves show a polished, calligraphic tension—especially in rounded capitals and the double-storey forms like “g” and “a.” Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with delicate diagonals and thin joins that favor display clarity over ruggedness at small sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, pull quotes, brand marks, and refined packaging where high contrast and italic motion are assets. It can also work for invitations and short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes, especially when generous leading and careful reproduction preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and fashion-forward, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its crisp contrast and italic sweep feel luxurious and poised, suggesting sophistication and a touch of drama rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic italic serif elegance, emphasizing sharp contrast, sleek proportions, and a confident forward slant for premium, image-led applications.
Capitals appear slightly formal and statuesque, while the lowercase has lively cursive energy, giving the face a dynamic hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Spacing looks relatively open for such a slender design, helping maintain readability in headlines while preserving the airy, high-end feel.
