A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, polished rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into sharp, hairline serifs and pointed terminals, with occasional teardrop/ball finishing on curves. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow, with generous white space and clean, symmetrical construction, while the italic lowercase shows fluid, calligraphic joins and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and delicate hairlines that read best when given enough size and space.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine features, book jackets, and cultured branding where elegance and hierarchy matter. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text settings that can support the delicate hairlines and high contrast.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, evoking classic book typography and luxury branding. Its italic slant and dramatic contrast add a sense of motion and flourish, lending a poised, expressive voice rather than a purely utilitarian one.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif voice—prioritizing refinement, sharp detail, and dramatic contrast for expressive, premium typography.
The face relies on fine hairlines and sharp details, so it will feel most confident in print-like contexts or on screens at larger sizes. Spacing appears measured and open, contributing to a bright, upscale texture in paragraphs and headlines.
