A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp hairline detailing. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with pointed, tapered terminals and fine, bracketed serifs that feel engraved in spirit. The letterforms are relatively narrow and slightly variable in width, with lively curves and occasional swash-like strokes (notably in lowercase such as a, f, g, z and in the ampersand). Counters are clean and open, while ascenders and capitals carry an elongated, poised silhouette that emphasizes vertical elegance.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and upscale branding where its contrast and italic flow can be appreciated. It also works well for invitations and packaging that benefit from an elevated, classical tone; for long text, it’s most effective when used sparingly for emphasis or short passages.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing classic sophistication with a sense of movement. Its crisp contrast and italic rhythm evoke editorial luxury—suited to high-end, romantic, or literary atmospheres rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice with a distinctly calligraphic cadence—prioritizing elegance, drama, and refined detail for premium typography contexts.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slanted posture, reading as refined and dressy. At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate joins become a key part of the personality, while at smaller sizes the fine details may demand generous sizing and print-friendly conditions for best clarity.
