This typeface is a slanted serif with extreme stroke modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Letterforms show a vertical, calligraphic stress: thick stems anchor the forms while thin connecting strokes and entry/exit strokes taper to sharp points. Capitals are narrow and poised with long, delicate serifs and smooth curves, while the lowercase features flowing joins, a single-storey a, and teardrop/ball terminals in places, giving a distinctly refined rhythm. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with very thin details and pronounced curves, creating a polished display texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short blocks of text where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with ample white space and careful tracking.
The overall tone is luxurious and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. The sharp contrasts and fine terminals suggest sophistication and drama rather than neutrality, evoking fashion, high-end print, and classic literary styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif look with an italic-forward personality—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and sophisticated rhythm for display and editorial settings.
At text sizes, the thin hairlines and tight interior details read as intentionally delicate; the design’s character depends on clean reproduction and generous spacing. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, formal italic voice.
