This typeface is a sharply inclined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Proportions are tall and compact, producing a tight, vertical rhythm despite the strong slant. Strokes terminate in fine points and tapered joins, with narrow counters and a slightly calligraphic flow in curved letters. Capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase shows lively, sculpted forms with delicate entry/exit strokes and occasional ball-like terminals in punctuation and figures.
Well suited to magazine-style typography, pull quotes, and headline systems where an expressive italic voice is needed. It also fits upscale branding, packaging accents, and formal event pieces such as invitations or menus, particularly at medium to large sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining sophistication with a touch of theatrical flair. Its gleaming contrast and steep italic posture suggest luxury, high style, and classical refinement rather than casual readability.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated display and editorial settings, prioritizing a luxurious silhouette and emphatic rhythm. Its narrow set and dramatic modulation aim to create impact and elegance with minimal horizontal footprint.
Numerals and caps share the same high-contrast logic, with slender diagonals and sharp apexes that read best when given space. The design favors elegance over softness: hairlines are extremely fine, and the slant creates a sense of speed and emphasis in running text.
