A high-contrast serif italic with a strongly right-leaning stance, broad set proportions, and crisp hairline serifs against weighty main strokes. The forms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with smoothly bracketed joins, tapered terminals, and a polished, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are generous and round, counters are open, and the overall color reads dark and assertive despite the fine hairlines, creating a lively rhythm in both capitals and lowercase.
Best used at medium to large sizes for headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and brand statements where contrast and italic dynamism can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or luxe packaging text, but will be most comfortable when given sufficient size and spacing to protect the hairline details.
The tone is refined and theatrical, pairing classical bookish cues with fashion-editorial energy. Its sharp contrast and confident italic movement feel expressive and luxurious, suited to moments where typography should carry presence and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a conventional serif italic, emphasizing dramatic contrast and confident slant for expressive typography. It prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming to elevate display text with a classic yet energetic voice.
Capitals appear stately and sculpted with crisp finishing, while lowercase shows more fluidity and occasional swashlike shaping (notably in descenders and curved terminals). Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and delicate entry/exit strokes that emphasize a stylish, display-forward personality.
