This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The italic angle is steady and fairly assertive, with many strokes showing calligraphic swelling and hairline connections that create a lively rhythm across words. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like, often finishing in fine points, while bowls and arches are compact and slightly pinched, giving counters a sculpted, aristocratic feel. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised with long diagonals and delicate hairlines, and the lowercase shows a high-waisted construction with brisk entry/exit strokes and a refined, newsprint-like texture at text sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin cross-strokes that read best with generous size and spacing.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines and pull quotes, fashion and lifestyle branding, book or magazine covers, and other situations where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations or certificates when set with sufficient size, spacing, and high-quality output to preserve fine hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and stylish, combining traditional bookish manners with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and fluent italic movement convey luxury, confidence, and a slightly theatrical editorial voice rather than an understated everyday tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, high-fashion italic serif with strong contrast and crisp detailing—optimized for expressive display typography and refined editorial settings where a sense of prestige and movement is important.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, producing a crisp sparkle, while at smaller sizes the contrast can create a more delicate, high-end texture that benefits from careful reproduction. The italic forms feel purpose-built (not simply slanted), with consistent calligraphic logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
